IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.976 of 2004 VINOD KUMAR OJHA SON OF SHRINIWAS OJHA RESIDENT OF VILLAGE BANDHA, P.O. AMRAI NAWADA, P.S. BIHIYA, DISTRICT BHOJPUR. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR &ORS ----------- 3 02/07/2010 It is the perseverance of the petitioner in the matter of appointment which has impressed this Court. He made his first bid to be appointed as a constable way back in the year 1983 and is still looking for a slot for appointment in the year 2010 which is only 27 years past. Even by rough calculation petitioner has reached about 50 years of age. The Court with a heavy heart has to disappoint him because giving any direction for appointment on the post of constable at that age will be in no body’s interest muchless the State. It is also recorded that the age of the petitioner is surely one of the reasons, if not other considerations, in not entertaining the writ application now seeking appointment on the post of constable. No relief can be granted to the petitioner at such a distant time for such stale claim. This writ application is dismissed. AMIN (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
