IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2498 of 2008 ANAND KUMAR, son of Baidya Nath Prasad, resident of Jai Prabha Nagar Majhauliya Road, Police Station – Kazi Mohammadpur, District – Muzaffarpur. Versus 1. THE CHIEF ENGINEER (GENERATION), Bihar State Electricity Board, Vidyut Bhawan, Bailey Road, Patna-1. 2. The General Manager cum Chief Engineer, Muzaffarpur Thermal Power Station Kanti, Muzaffarpur. 3. The Electrical Superintending Engineer, Mechanical and Maintenance, Muzaffarpur Thermal Power Station Kanti, Muzaffarpur. ----------- 03. 19.04.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondent Electricity Board. This is not one of those cases where claim made by the petitioner is accepted by the respondents. In fact it denied. A serious objection is also raised that the claim relates to the year 1990-91. Merely because some kind of letter has been written on this issue in 2006, it does not mean that the issue or the claim of the petitioner comes alive. There is no explanation why petitioner did not approach any court well within time. Looking at the time frame to which the present claim relates this Court is not inclined to exercise its extra- ordinary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. If the petitioner has remedy under common law, he may explore the same. The writ application is dismissed. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J )
