IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.409 of 2008 RABINDRA SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- For the appellant : Mr. Nagendra Rai --- P R E S E N T Hon'ble the Chief Justice And Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ghanshyam Prasad --- Dated, the 10th July, 2008 The counsel for the appellant submits that for the period from March 1999 to July 2000, the appellant worked but still payment has not been made. He also submits that having worked for more than 240 days, the appellant was entitled to regularization of his service. 2. We are afraid, the relief sought for by the appellant cannot be granted and the learned single judge cannot be said to have erred in dismissing the writ petition. 3. The writ petition has been filed by the petitioner seeking regularization of service when he was not in service at all. If the petitioner’s services have been discontinued, question of regularization cannot arise. 4. With regard to non-payment of salary for the 2 period from March 1999 to July 2000, we are afraid, such disputed question cannot be adjudicated in high prerogative writ jurisdiction. 5. Letters Patent Appeal does not deserve to be admitted. It is dismissed in limine. R.M. Lodha, CJ. Ghanshyam Prasad, J. Neyaz/
