The present Letters Patent Appeal is directed against the judgment dated 15.2.2008 passed by the learned single Judge of this Court, whereby the claim of the appellant for payment of Patna High Court LPA No.321 of 2008 (7) dt.17-03-2016 2 pension from 31.01.1994 from the State Government was declined. 3. The appellant was initially appointed as Industrial Extension Supervisor on 07.11.1959 and was confirmed vide Government Order dated 28.07.1972. The Patna Industrial Area Development Authority came to be incorporated under the Bihar Industrial Area Development Authority Ordinance, 1972 later on. The appellant was initially deputed for two years in the service of the Authority with effect from 16.07.1973 and later, he requested for his absorption on 15th June, 1979, on the basis of which, he was absorbed vide communication dated 29th October, 1980. 4. The appellant was paid a sum of Rs. 53,582/- on account of commuted amount of pension due to him from 06.01.1958 to 28.10.1980 vide order dated 17.10.1984. The appellant obtained the age of superannuation on 31st January 1994. 5. Thereafter, the appellant has come to this Court after six years of his superannuation claiming pension from the State Government, though, earlier a writ petition claiming pensionary benefits was filed by the appellant, which was disposed of with direction to the appellant to file a representation and it was ordered to decide the representation of the appellant. 4. We do not find any error or illegality in the order Patna High Court LPA No.321 of 2008 (7) dt.17-03-2016 3 passed by the learned single Judge, whereby the claim of the appellant for pension has been declined. The appellant was absorbed in the Patna Industrial Area Development Authority on 29th October, 1980 and the appellant continued to work in the Authority without any demur for almost 14 years. The appellant was paid commuted pension in 1984 as well. In view of long silence of the appellant against his absorption, we find that no cause is made out for interference in the present appeal. 5. The appeal is, thus, dismissed. V.P.Sinha/- N.A.F.R. (Hemant Gupta, J) (Ramesh Kumar Datta, J) U
