IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3871 of 2008 INDRADEO PRASAD & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 04.08.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. The relief claimed is for a direction to engage the petitioners on duties as Homeguards. The ground urged in the counter affidavit for non- consideration is that the petitoners were found wanting on an earlier assignment leading to a criminal prosecution in which they have not been honourably acquitted, but given the benefit of doubt looses its significance in view of the assertion of the petitioners of their subsequent engagement after the judgment, which is not denied in the counter affidavit. The writ petition is, therefore, disposed with liberty to the petitioners to file a representation before the Respondents with regard to their re-engagement, which shall be considered by the Respondents appropriately in accordance with law.
