- Decided
- Disposal
- DISPOSED
Holding
The appeal was dismissed as the petitioner failed to remedy the identified office defects.
Summary
The Bihar Rajkiya Nalkoop Karmchari Sangh, through its General Secretary, filed a Letters Patent Appeal (No. 113 of 2013) before the Patna High Court challenging actions of the State of Bihar and its officials. The court had earlier issued an order on 01.05.2024 directing the parties to rectify certain office defects in the pleadings. The petitioner failed to comply with the required corrections within the stipulated time. The issue before the court was whether the appeal could be entertained despite the non‑compliance with the procedural defect. The court held that the failure to cure the defect was fatal and therefore dismissed the appeal. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed for non‑compliance of the office defects.
