IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4722 of 2008 Mohammad Shamim, Son of Late Mohammad Yusuf, Resident of Village Phulwaria, P.S. Maniyari, District Muzaffarpur………………………………………..Petitioner Versus 1. The Vice Chancellor, Baba Saheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar University, Muzaffarpur. 2. The Registrar, Baba Saheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar University, Muzaffarpur. 3. The Principal, L.S. College, Muzaffarpur………………………………….……….Respondents ----------- 3 11.07.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the respondents. Petitioner is the only son of an Ex- Class IV employee of L.S. College Muzaffarpur. He has filed this writ application in 2008 claiming that his father was wrongly forced to retire in December, 1998 showing his date of birth as 13.12.1936. It is submitted that actual date of birth of his father is 13.12.1940. It is also stated that his father died on 22.07.2004. There is nothing on record to show that prior to his retirement, father of the petitioner had represented the authorities for correction of his date of birth in the records and the authorities were 2 considering the same actively. Merely on the basis of a letter of the Principal of L.S. College dated 07.12.1999, petitioner has filed this writ application in 2008. The writ application suffers from gross delay and laches and in fact, is an attempt to abuse of process of this Court. The same is, therefore, dismissed with a cost of Rs.2000/- which authorities of the University shall realize from the petitioner as a public demand. BT (J. N. Singh, J.)
