Tapan Samanta & ORS v. Union Of India & ORS

Ct-08 ar 06.10.2023 FMA 3851 of 2014 Tapan Samanta & Ors.

Vs.

Union of India & Ors.

1. The parties are not represented nor any accommodation is prayed for on behalf of the parties.

2. The appeal had appeared in the warning list of cases on and from 19th September, 2023 with a clear indication that the said matter shall be transferred to the Regular Bench today. The appeal is listed today in the main cause list. All the parties have sufficient notice about the listing of the matter before the Regular Bench on and from 6th October, 2023.

3. The appeal was filed on 8.7.2014. The record shows that no attempt has been made to move this appeal after it was filed. No step has been taken to serve notice and prepare paper books. It clearly shows that the appellants are not interested to proceed with the appeal and have virtually abandoned the appeal.

4. In any event, it appears from the record that the students who got admitted in 2000 passed in 2002-2003 and they have filed the writ petition almost 4 years for increasing the stipend. They have never questioned the

quantum of stipend paid to them for past 12 years.

5. Under such circumstances, we do not find any reason to interfere with the order passed by the learned Single Judge.

6. In view of the above, the appeal is accordingly dismissed.
