IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13141 of 2007 ANIL KUMAR, son of Sri Ram Nandan Prasad Singh, resident of village Muraura, P.S. Bihar Sharif, District Nalanda ... Petitioner Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR through the Chief Secretary, Bihar, Patna 2. The Vice Chancellor of Magadh University, Bodh Gaya 3. The Principal Nalanda College, Bihar Sharif, District Nalanda ... Respondents ----------- 2. 10.11.2010 No one appears for the petitioner. Counsel for the University is present. The following prayer of the petitioner in this writ application: “That this is an application for quashing the order of the letter no. G.L. 1551 dated 14.10.1989 passed by the Vice Chancellor of Magadh University (respondent no.2) whereby and whereunder the respondent no.2 has been pleased to order stop taking work and payment of the petitioner vide Annexure 3 to this petition.” in the opinion of this Court cannot be gone into, inasmuch as the same is belated. The petitioner in fact wants to assail the order of the year 1989 by filing the writ application on 3.10.2007 and there has been no explanation for such an inordinate delay of almost 18 years in assailing the said 2 impugned order. Additionally this Court would find that even the only reason for terminating the services of the petitioner is fully justified, inasmuch as there is no denial that the appointment of the petitioner on a Class III post was made by the Principal of the College whereas only appointment on Class III and IV posts of the University was terminated that initially the engagement of the petitioner and three others was made by an incompetent authority. The appointment of the petitioner came to be made in a constituent college is vested exclusively in the Vice Chancellor of the University alone. Thus, the impugned order directing for dispensing with the service of the petitioner and three others even otherwise is strictly in accordance with law and the University law and would require no interference of this Court. That being so, this application is wholly misconceived and is, accordingly, dismissed. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/ 3
