IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.5732 of 1992 Prithivi Chand Agarwal Versus State & Anr. ---------------------------------- 05. 05.12.2011 Nobody appears on behalf of the petitioner. Same is the case with respondents. This application was lodged in this Court on 3.7.1992. By order dated 20.5.1993, the application was admitted to hearing. Notices were directed to be issued on respondent nos. 3 and 4. For more than 17 years nobody took care of the case. Office also remained silent. The matter was placed for consideration with an office report that the application stood dismissed as against respondent nos. 3 and 4. By order dated 14.9.2011, this Court granted one week more time to take steps for fresh service of notice upon respondent nos. 3 and 4. From the marginal notes, it appears that no step even thereafter has been taken by the petitioner to comply with the order dated 14.9.2011. On going through the writ petition, it appears that substantive relief has been prayed for against respondent no.3. Since the application already stood dismissed against respondent nos. 3 and 4, in my view, the writ application has become incompetent. It is accordingly dismissed. hr ( Kishore K. Mandal )
