The Chief Account Officer, BSRTC, Parivahan Bhawan, Patna 4. The Store Superintendent, BSRTC, Chapra 5. The Depot. Superintendent, BSRTC, Chapra 6. The Station Superintendent, BSRTC, Gopalganj ----------- For the petitioner: Mr. Om Prakash Singh, Advocate For the BSRTC: Mr. S.R. Sharan, Advocate ----------- 2. 9.5.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondent Bihar State Road Transport Corporation. The petitioner has come to this Court for quashing of the order dated 21.7.2003 passed by the respondent No.2, the Divisional Manager, BSRTC, Chapra by which certain punishments were awarded to him. Learned counsel for the petitioner is unable to satisfy this Court as to why the petitioner has taken 8 years to wake up and file a writ petition against the said order. The statement is made in the writ petition that an appeal has been filed before the Administrator but on 2 looking at the memo of appeal it appears that the same was also received in the office of the Administrator in the year 2008 which cannot be considered as an appeal in the eye of law. In any case, since the petitioner himself was satisfied with the impugned order, it is not open to him to agitate the said order before this Court after a lapse of nearly 8 years. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed on the ground that it raises a stale claim. S.Pandey ( Ramesh Kumar Datta, J.)
