Also heard Mr.M.R.Pathak, learned st anding counsel for the respondent-Education Department, Government of Assam. The writ-petitioners in W.P.(C) No.2949 of 2008 applied for the posts of Assistant Teacher in M.E.Schools in response to an advertisement issued by the Director of Elementary Education, Government of Assam in the month of December , 1996 and the writ-petitioners of W.P.(C) No.2948 of 2008 applied for the posts of Assistant Teacher, L.P.Schools in response to the said advertisement. The w rit-petitioners of W.P.(C) No.2947 of 2008 applied for the posts of Assistant Te acher jin High/Higher Secondary School in response to the advertisement issued by the Director of Secondary Education, Government of Assam in the month of Dece mber, 1996. After receipt of the applications against the advertised posts, the Gove rnment constituted Selection Committee for each Constituency. For filling up th e posts of Assistant Teachers in the High Schools/Higher Secondary Schools, the name of the committee was District Level Selection Committee and for filling up the posts of Assistant Teacher in M.E.Schools &L.P.Schools the name of the c ommittee was Sub-Divisional Level Advisory Board, The Committee and the Board, after receipt of the applications from the candidates against the posts of Assi stant Teacher in M.E.Schools, L.P.Schools and High Schoold/Higher Secondary Sch ools, prepared Select List and forwarded the same to the concerned Director of E ducation for necessary appointment. It is submitted, on behalf of the petition ers, that though the petitioners ,who belong to the Jhalukbari Constituency of Kamrup District, duly applied for the advertised posts no step was taken by t he respondent-Government for their appointment till date. It is further submitte d that appointments in respect of other Constituencies of Kamrup District were a pproved by the Government and they were appointed leaving the candidates belongi ng to the Jhalukbari Constituency. Being aggrieved, the writ-petitioners have come up with these writ petit ions. As the facts and circumstances of the aforesaid writ petitions are simi lar and the same sets of learned counsel have appeared in the aforesaid writ pe titions, all the writ-petitions are taken up together today. Mr.M.R.Pathak, learned Standing Counsel for the respondents has submitte d that the Selection Committee constituted for the Jhalukbari Constituency rece ived the applications of the writ-petitioners which they submitted in response to the advertisement but the Selection Committee did not place the Select List b efore the District Level Committee for due consideration and as such the Dist rict Level Committee could not consider the case of the petitioners who belong ed to the Jhalukbari Constituency. Having heard the learned counsel for both the sides and considering the materials on record, I am of the considered opinion that as the respective Commi ttee failed to submit the Select List before the District Level Committee, it w ill be appropriate, at this stage, to direct the respondents, more particularly the respondent no.1 - the Commissioner and Secretary to the Government of Assam , Department of Education ,Assam for considering the cases of the petitioners in WP(C) No.2949/2008, WP(C) No.2948 of 2008 and WP(C) No.2947 of 2008. The writ petitioners shall produce the certified copy of this order alon g with the copy of the writ petitions with all annexures before the Commissioner and Secretary, Department of Education, Government of Assam within 15 (fiftee n) days from the date of receipt of the certified copy of this order and on rece ipt of the same the Commissioner and the Secretary will consider the cases of t he writ-petitioners within a period of 4 (four) months from the date of receipt of the same. With this observation, these writ petitions stand disposed.
