Mr. Ajay Kumar Sinha ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR TRIPATHI and HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJEEV RANJAN PRASAD ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR TRIPATHI) 14-12-2017 Reasons given for delay of 5 years and 165 days in preferring the appeal are neither convincing nor cogent on which such extraordinary delay ought to be condoned. We have also glanced through the impugned order passed by the learned Single Judge, who refused to interfere with the order of punishment of discharge because of preponderance of materials and evidence, which had come during the course of
Patna High Court LPA No.1878 of 2016(3) dt.14-12-2017 2/2 inquiry with finding of guilt. Therefore, we are not inclined to condone the delay of 5 years and 165 days in preferring the appeal.
The condonation application is dismissed. As a consequence thereof, even the appeal stands dismissed. (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J) ( Rajeev Ranjan Prasad, J) sk U
