IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6274 of 2009 SURENDRA KUMAR MANDAL Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 19.5.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. The claim of time bound promotion of the year 1992 cannot be allowed to be adjudicated in the year 2009. Accordingly, this application is not maintainable on the ground of unexplained delay and laches on the part of the petitioner. The only explanation of the counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner had kept on filing representation for such time bound promotion can hardly be an explanation to this effect. That being so, this application, being wholly misconceived, is hereby dismissed with the aforementioned observations. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
