IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1625 of 2006 INDU KUMAR PODDAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3. 14.07.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. That the petitioner had been appointed on contract basis and that his appointment may have been terminated prematurely, whether under the conditions of the appointment or illegally, as the petitioner claims, are all academic issues in view of the fact that the tenure of the contractual appointment which is the subject matter of controversy has itself expired on 31.3.2006 when the petitioner came to this Court in February, 2006. This Court is not persuaded to decide the academic issues. The application is, therefore, disposed off with observation that if the petitioner applies in pursuance to any fresh requisition, his application shall be considered duly in accordance with law.
