IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.92 of 2011 4 13.4.2011 1. Rajendra Paswan son of Chatru Paswan 2. Shiv Kumar Paswan son of Chatru Paswan Both are resident of villae Numar, Police Station Barhat, District Jamui …. Petitioner … Appellant VERSUS 1. The State of Bihar 2. The District Magistrate, Jamui 3. The District Magistrate, Purnia 4. The Deputy Director and Census Operations R.T.O., Purnea 5. The Director, Census Bihar, Patna …. Respondents … Respondents -------- Heard learned counsel for the appellants and learned counsel for the State. By the impugned order, the learned Writ Court has dismissed the writ petition after noticing that the claim of the appellants was on the basis that they are retrenched employees of the census operation carried in the year 1981. The main ground for filing writ petition in the year 2005 is that another person, one Baikunth Thakur, was appointed in the year 1989. Now, in 2010- 11 no useful purpose will be served by directing the authorities to consider the case of the persons, who were retrenched 30 years earlier. Because of gap of such time period and there being no other right except the right to - 2 - be considered and considering the advanced age of such retrenched employees, we are of the considered view that the order of the Writ Court dismissing the writ petition for delay and latches needs no interference. The appeal is accordingly dismissed. sk (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) (Akhilesh Chandra, J.)
