IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.373 of 2006 HARI NANDAN PRASAD YADAV @HARI NANDAN MANDAL Versus THE UNION OF INDIA & ORS ----------- For the Petitioner :- Mr. Hira Jha For the State :- Mr. Pravin Kumar Verma For Union of India :- Mr. Prashant Kashyap 2 9.2.2009 Heard the parties. At the outset, counsel for the petitioner had submitted that during pendency of this writ application, the writ petitioner has died and as such, he will have to make enquiry as to whether right to sue survives or not? In the opinion of this Court, when the petitioner’s claim as per his own showing in Annexure-E to the counter affidavit, copy whereof was served on the counsel for the petitioner on 28.2.2006, was rejected on 12.1.1993, filing of this writ application for a cause of action of the year 1993 on 10.1.2006 was itself wholly misconceived. That being so, this writ application is dismissed only on the ground of delay and laches. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
