JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE present writ petition has been preferred for issuance of an appropriate writ, order or direction to quash Zlladesh No. 4180/91 forwarded by letter No. 40 dated 4.1.92 issued by S.S.P., Ranchi whereby and whereunder the petitioner was dismissed from police service and he has further prayed for quashing the memo No. 2549 dated 29.5.1996 whereby the appeal of the petitioner has been rejected by the D.I.G., Ranchi. He has further prayed for issuance of direction to the D.G.P., Bihar, as he then was, to expedite the memoranda/revision filed under Rule 853(a) of the Bihar Police Manual.

(2.) THE facts in brief are set out as under: -

(3.) ACCORDING to the petitioner he made a representation from his village on 9.1.92 under Certificate of Posting and also gave a reminder to dispose of the appeal on 4.9.94. It appears that the appeal was finally rejected vide memo 1\10.1238 dated 29.5.96 and thereafter he filed a memo of appeal/revision under Rule 853 of the Police Manual on 3.6.96 to the Director General of Police under Certificate of Posting which according to petitioner is still pending and has not been disposed of. It will be not in the interest of justice, at this belated stage to direct the D.G.P. to dispose of the memoranda/revision pending since 1996 when nearly more than 12 years have passed.
