1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CIVIL JURISDICTION LETTERS PATENT APPEAL NO. 42 OF 2010 IN WRIT PETITION NO. 7970 OF 2009 WITH CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 54 OF 2010 Dr. Daulatrao Aher. ... Appellant. V/s. The Commissioner of Sugar & Ors. ... Respondents. Mr. A.V. Anturkar, Sr. Advocate i/b. Mr. Suresh M. Sabrad for the Appellant. Mr. Nitin Pradhan, Sr. Advocate i/b. Mr. Tejas Dande for Respondent 3. Mr. R.S. Patne, AGP for the State. CORAM : ANIL R. DAVE, C.J. & S.C. DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATED : 17th FEBRUARY, 2010. P.C. :- In this Appeal, order dated 28th January 2010 in Writ Petition No.7970 of 2009 has been challenged. 2. Upon hearing the learned Advocates and looking to the record we are of the view that there is no substance in this appeal. 3. It is pertinent to note that an Inquiry Officer was appointed and the Inquiry proceedings had been initiated in 2003. At the behest of the Appellant/Petitioner, the inquiry has not been completed so far. The Appellant had filed Petition No. 963 of 2 2008, which had been disposed of on 13th March 2008. While rejecting the Petition, the learned Single Judge had observed that the inquiry proceedings should go on and if the Petitioner was aggrieved for any reason, he should make his grievance upon completion of the inquiry before the Appellate Forum. The said order has become final. 4. Once again, another Petition, being Writ Petition No.7970 of 2009 had been filed by the Appellant which has been rejected and therefore, this Appeal has been filed. 5. As stated hereinabove, we are satisfied that there is no substance in this Appeal and, therefore, the Appeal is dismissed with no order as to costs. 6. The learned Advocate has prayed for stay of inquiry proceedings for six weeks. We do not find any reasonableness in this request as the inquiry proceedings are pending since 2003. The request is rejected. 7. In view of the dismissal of the L.P.A., nothing survives in Civil Application No. 54 of 2010 and it has become infructuous and disposed of as such. CHIEF JUSTICE S.C. DHARMADHIKARI, J.
