IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.694 of 2008 THE SANSKRIT HIGH SCHOOL,MANIKPUR GAYA Versus SHYAM KISHORE SHARMA & ORS ----------- For the appellant: Mr. Shivaji Pandey, Sr. Advocate Mr. Nalin Vilochan Tiwari For the respondents : Mr. Tej Bahadur Singh, Sr. Advocate Mr. G. Shankar --- P R E S E N T Hon'ble the Chief Justice And Hon'ble Mr. Justice Kishore K. Mandal --- Dated, the 8th September, 2008 The appeal suffers from delay of 30 days and for condonation thereof an application (IA. No.5401 of 2008) has been made. 2. Even if, we condone the delay in filing the appeal, we are of the considered opinion that the letters patent appeal does not deserve to be admitted. 3. The single judge considered the matter thus: “On bare perusal of the order dated 6.2.2006 in Appeal no.17/04 two things are apparent; one that the petitioners were appointed at a time when there was valid approval of the Bihar Sanskrit Siksha Board, and the other that they were not parties to the appeal. Thirdly, the manner of determination of the appeal leaves much to be desires inasmuch as those, whose applications were alleged to be fraudulent and forged and on basis of which the appeal came to be allowed, were never parties to the appeal and were not heard at the stage of appeal whe4n a finding of forgery was arrived at without any enquiry or conclusive determination.” 2 4. In view of what has been observed by the single judge, we find no justifiable reason to interfere with the order. 5. Letters patent appeal stands dismissed in limine. R. M. Lodha, CJ. Kishore K. Mandal, J. Neyaz/
