IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.621 of 2008 LALIT MOHAN PRASAD Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- For the appellant: Mr. Ganesh Prasad Singh Mr. Anirudh Kumar Singh For the respondent nos.1 to 6 : Mr. N.K.Sinha, AAG – X Mr. Sanjay Kumar, JC P R E S E N T Hon'ble the Chief Justice And Hon'ble Mr. Justice Kishore K. Mandal --- Dated, the 21st August, 2008 Even if we condone the delay in filing the appeal, for the reasons set out in the application (IA. No.4839 of 2008), on merit, we find that the appeal does not deserve to be admitted. 2. That the appellant did not work for the period from March 1996 to 22nd of November, 1998 is not in dispute. The only justification that has been put forth is that he was not allowed to work due to transfer. 3. We are afraid, this explanation does not justify grant of salary for the period from March 1996 to 22nd of November, 1998, when actually the appellant did not work. 4. The impugned order does not call for any interference by us. 5. Letters patent appeal is dismissed in limine. This 2 disposes of IA. No.4839 of 2008 as well. R. M. Lodha, CJ. Kishore K. Mandal, J.
