THE CIVIL SURGEON- CUM- CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER BHOJPUR, ARRAH ----------- 02/ 18.03.2010 Prayer of the petitioners is for quashing of the order dated 13.12.1991 contained in Memo No. 3262 and also for quashing of the order contained in Memo No. 1732 dated 25.12.1991, whereby the Civil Surgeon –cum- Chief Medical Officer, Nalanda and Civil Surgeon –cum- Chief Medical Officer, Ara have terminated the petitioners from their service. On perusal of the statement in the writ application, it is apparent that the termination order of 1991 remained unchallenged till 2009. The petitioners never approached any forum for quashing of the termination orders. After a long delay present writ application has been filed. This application is not maintainable since it is barred by limitation. It is dismissed. DKS/ (Mridula Mishra, J.)
