IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.16929 of 2009 RAM BAHADUR PASWAN Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 29.01.2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the State. The petitioner retired on 31.7.2007. He appears to have accepted it as a fate accompli when he filed the writ application on 19.11.2009 after more than two years. His defence that he was pursuing the matter by filing representation does not satisfy this Court. The issue of his date of birth has now become academic due to the conduct of the petitioner himself. The Courts do not decide academic issues. This application is dismissed as infructuous. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
