This Letters Patent Appeal arises from the order dated 19.2.2010 passed by the learned Single Judge in M.J.C.No.1780 of 2009. It is apparent that the appellant writ petitioner was denied employment. The writ petition (C.W.J.C.No.2327 of 2002) was allowed to be dismissed for non prosecution. The restoration application bearing M.J.C.No.1336 of 2008 was also allowed to be dismissed for non prosecution.

Besides, the restoration of the writ petition now 3 would amount to reopening of the selection procedure of the year 2002. We do not propose to entertain the stale claims The Appeal is dismissed in limine. ahk (R.M.Doshit,CJ.) (Jyoti Saran, J.)
