IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.15171 of 2009 1. MADHESHWAR YADAV S/O DHANU YADAV R/O THAKUR BIGHA, P.O.- ARAI, P.S.- DAUDNAGAR, DISTT.- AURANGABAD Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR, THROUGH ITS CHIEF SECRETARY 2. THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA 3. THE INSPECTOR GENERAL (I.G.), MAGADH RANGE 4. THE DEPUTY INSPECTOR GENERAL (D.I.G.), MAGADH RANGE GOVT. OF BIHAR, GAYA 5. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE DISTT.- AURANGABAD 6. THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE DISTT.- AURANGABAD 7. THE OFFICER-IN-CHARGE, POLICE STATION- DAUDNAGAR DISTT.- AURANGABAD ----------- 2. 26.11.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The submission is that while he was working as a Chaukidar in 1982, he was involved in a criminal case which has finally resulted in his acquittal in 2002. The petitioner is therefore entitled to be considered for reinstatement which was not being done, despite his representations. Counsel for the State submits that Chaukidar was made a Government post in 1990 and therefore it shall have to be a matter for consideration if the petitioner fulfils the conditions as may have been prescribed for continuation/absorption of then existing Chaukidars and appropriate decision shall then have to be taken. This Court finds no infirmity in the reasoning given by the learned State counsel. The application is disposed off in the same terms to be complied with by a reasoned and speaking order by 2 respondent no. 5 within a maximum period of four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
