IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.693 of 2008 KUMARI POONAM Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- For the appellant: Mr.S.B.K.Mangalam For the State : Mr. Ranajit Sinha, JC to SC – X For the BSE Board: Mrs. Namrata Mishra --- P R E S E N T Hon'ble the Chief Justice And Hon'ble Mr. Justice Kishore K. Mandal --- Dated, the 8th September, 2008 The appeal suffers from delay of 4 days, for which an application ( IA. No.5402 of 2008) has been made. 2. Even if we condone the delay in filing the appeal, for the reasons stated in the application and that we do, we are of the considered view that the letters patent appeal does not deserve to be admitted. 3. It is an admitted position that the petitioner took Primary Teachers’ Training for the Sessions 1987-89 and appeared in the examination in the year, 1991. According to the petitioner, she appeared and her answer – books have been evaluated but still result has not been published. That necessitated her to approach this court by filing a writ petition in the year, 2006. The single judge dismissed the writ petition on the ground of laches. 2 4. It appears from the available material that the stand of Bihar School Examination Board (respondent in the writ petition) was that after a gap of long time except the concerned tabulation register of the Board, no record is available and the Board is unable to make any verification and issue any mark-sheet. 5. We do not find any infirmity in the order of the single judge justifying interference by this court. 6. Letters patent appeal stands dismissed in limine R. M. Lodha, CJ. Kishore K. Mandal, J. Neyaz/
