No. 1742 of 2010: - This is an application for condonation of delay of 176 days in preferring the appeal. We have heard Mr. Arun Kumar, learned counsel for the appellant and Mr. Prabhat Kumar Singh, learned counsel for the State. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, delay in filing the appeal stands condoned. Interlocutory application stands accordingly allowed. - 2 - L.P.A. No. 343 of 2010: - As we have condoned the delay, we are inclined to take up the appeal for admission. The grievance of the petitioner relates to termination from the post of Shiksha Mitra. On a perusal of the documents, brought on record, it is manifest that the appointment was for a period of 11 months. His services were terminated after issuing notice to him on the foundation that he was serving at two places. Be that as it may, as the appointment was basically for a period of 11 months and no stigma is attached, we are not inclined to interfere with the order passed by the learned Single Judge, and accordingly, the appeal, being sans merit, stands dismissed.
