PATNA HIGH COURT ISSUES JUDGEMENT ON NANDU PRASAD GUPTA V/S THE STATE OF BIHAR AND OTHERS

PATNA, India, July 2 -- Patna High Court issued the following judgment on June 30:

We have heard Mr. Sanjay Kumar, the learned Advocate for the appellant and Mr. Apurva Kumar, the learned Advocate for the State.

2. The appellant is aggrieved by the judgment dated 02.01.2023 passed in C.W.J.C. No. 1766 of 2018, whereby his writ petition stood dismissed.

3. The appellant was appointed on the post of Clerk by one Ram Yatan Paswan, but was removed from service wayback on 31.12.1996 on the ground of his appointment being faulty.

4. The contention of the appellant before the Writ Court was that there were other appointees on the post of Clerks by the same person, viz., Ram Yatan Paswan, but they were allowed to continue in service.

5. The Writ Court did not enter into such set of facts for the reason that the appellant had approached this Court after 22 years of his having been removed from service.

6. We have no other option except to ratify the judgment impugned in the present appeal.

7. There is no merit in this appeal. The appeal stands dismissed.
