IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.459 of 2009 ABDUL RAB ANSARI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 4 21-6-2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The writ petition preferred by the four petitioners in the year 1992 was directed against order cancelling their appointment in 1988 on the ground of training certificate found to be forged and fabricated. The appointments were cancelled after giving show cause notice. When the matter was taken up for hearing nobody appeared and the Division Bench hearing the matter dismissed the writ petition without discussing the merit but after noting down the relevant facts. This restoration application was filed on 19th February, 2009 i.e. after more than six and half years. The reason for such inordinate delay is not at all convincing. It is difficult to believe that neither the lawyer could know of the dismissal of the writ petition for such a long period nor the petitioner ever thought of finding out the fate of the writ petition. In the facts and circumstances of the case, we do 2 not find the matter to be such so as to require restoration and hearing under extra-ordinary jurisdiction under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India. This application is, therefore, dismissed. Naresh ( Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) ( Vijayendra Nath,J)
