JUSTICE RANJAN GOGOI HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: - Mr. Rajvinder Singh Bains, Advocate, for the appellant. * * * * RANJAN GOGOI, J (ORAL) Heard. The point at issue in this appeal is whether the resignation submitted by the appellant/writ petitioner was voluntary, unconditional and with the intent to relinquish the office so as to meet the requirements laid down by the Apex Court in Dr. Prabha Atri Vs. State of Uttar Pradesh and others, AIR, 2003, SC, 534. The learned Single Judge considered the resignation letter dated 16.05.1994; another letter dated 15.06.1994 of the appellant/writ petitioner asking to be relieved w.e.f. 17.07.1994 and also a letter dated 17.06.1994 indicating the reasons for submission of resignation. On such consideration the learned Single Judge came to the conclusion that LPA No. 1379 of 2010 (O&M) 2 the resignation was unconditional and expressed a clear and unambiguous intent to relinquish the office. Having read and considered the aforesaid letters, we concur with the view taken by the learned Single Judge. The same would entail rejection of this appeal at the threshold by refusing admission. Ordered accordingly. C.M. No. 4168 of 2010 As we are not entertaining the Letters Patent Appeal, no order will be called for in the stay application.
