Court: Patna

Decided on: Feb-03-1999

Raushan Rishu and anr. Vs. State of Bihar and ors.

Court: Patna

Decided on: Feb-03-1999

Aftab Alam, J. 1. In what seems to be a case of failure to properly discharge statutory responsibilities, the Magadh University takes an attitude of apparent unconcern for the career of the engineering students in the two colleges affiliated to it. The apathy of the University has forced two students of the Maulana Azad College of Engineering and Technology, an affiliated unit of Magadh University to come to this Court seeking appropriate directions to the University authorities. The two students, petitioners before this Court, were admitted to the Bachelor of Science (Engineering) course for the Session 1996-2000. They make a grievance that the rate at which the course is proceeding and the delayed manner in which the University is holding the examinations, have already made them lose about one year before completing the 1st year of the four years course; and that in this way their four years course, which was supposed to be over in the year 2000, would not be completed before 2003 ...

Mushar Dusadh and ors. Vs. Radha Krishna Mahto @ Umesh NaraIn Mehta an ...

Court: Patna

Decided on: Feb-02-1999

Ravi Nandan Sahay, J.1. The only substantial question of law which arises for consideration in this appeal which was heard ex-parte against the respondents is whether the entire suit stood abated for a non-substitution of legal heirs of respondent No. 5, who died during the pendency of the suit?2. Learned Munsif held that the suit abated as a whole since the interest in the suit property was joint with the deceased Respondent No. 5 and other defendants. Learned Munsif has considered the question of abatement in Para-15 of the Judgment as extracted hereunder:15.
