IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.45 of 2008 GAURI SHANKAR RAM Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 15.5.2008 After having heard learned Counsel for the appellant, we are satisfied that the writ petition filed by the appellant was grossly belated and suffered from inordinate delay. It is not in dispute that the service of the appellant was dispensed with in the month of June, 1984. Earlier writ petition was filed that was not taken to its conclusion. Fresh writ petition has been filed after two years and two decades without any justification. Dismissal of the writ petition by the learned Single Judge, therefore, cannot be faulted. Letters Patent Appeal is dismissed in limine. R. M. Lodha, CJ C. K. Prasad, J Narendra/
