IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.490 of 2010 CHINTA DEVI wife of late Binda Singh, resident of village-Gonawan P.S. Nawada, District-Nawada. ----------------Petitioner/Appellant. Versus 1.THE STATE OF BIHAR through its Secretary, Department of Industries, Bihar, Patna. 2.Bihar State Cooperative Marketing Union (Biscomaun) through its Chairman, Biscomaun Bhawan, West of Gandhi Maidan, Patna. 3.Managing Director, Biscomaun, Biscomaun Bhawan, West of Gandhi Maidan, Patna. ------------------Respondents/Respondents. ----------- 2 16-03-2010 I.A. No.2557 of 2010. This is an application for condonation of delay of 25 days. Before adverting to the facet of condonation of delay, we have thought it apt to address the controversy of merit. As would be evident from order passed by the learned Single Judge, appellant has invoked extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for grant of salary of her late husband from October, 1996 till June, 2005. As facts would show, husband of the appellant was a Watch Man in the Bihar State Cooperative Marketing Union and he 2 was superannuated with effect from 30th June, 2005. The learned Single Judge after adverting on the facts observed that writ petition was not maintainable in view of Full Bench decision rendered in the case of ‘Rajendra Prasad Sah Vs. The State of Bihar & Ors’ reported in 2000 (4) PLJR 273. In view of aforesaid, we are not inclined to issue notice on the application of condonation of delay. Accordingly, application for condonation of delay stands rejected and as a natural corollary the appeal shall also stand dismissed. (Dipak Misra, C.J. ) Abhay Kumar ( Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
