This appeal arises from a judgment and order dated 24.03.2015 of a learned Single Judge passed in CWJC No.4358 of 2015, whereby the writ petition has been dismissed.

¶28

The learned Single Judge having examined the issue on the materials present has dismissed the writ petition and even this Court is not persuaded to interfere with the opinion expressed by the learned Single Judge.

The appeal is dismissed.
