The dismissal of the writ application vide order dated 01.07.2015 by the learned single Judge is the cause for the appellants

Patna High Court LPA No.1279 of 2015 dt.30-03-2017 2/2 to prefer this appeal under Letters Patent.

There is nothing illegal about the learned single Judge refusing to exercise discretion under Article 226 of the Constitution of India especially when there is a statutory appeal available against the impugned order to the appellants.

Whatever submissions, which have been made by the learned counsel representing the appellants, before us can also be appreciated by the appellate authority and none of the submissions are of a kind which cannot be heard and decided in appeal. No interference, therefore, is warranted with the order impugned.

Appeal is dismissed.

Appellants are free to file appeal even now if they choose.
