THE INCHARGE MEDICAL OFFICER, PRIMARY HEALTH CENTRE SIKTA, WEST CHAMPARAN, BETTIAH 7. THE INCHARGE MEDICAL OFFICER,PRIMARY HEALTH CENTRE MANJHOULIYA, WEST CHAMPARAN 2 3/ 19.05.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioners and the counsel appearing for the State. The statement in the writ application discloses that all these petitioners were appointed by the orders of the Civil Surgeon-cum-Chief Medical Officer, Madhubani, on different dates, in the year 1999 only petitioner No. 18, Vikash Kumar was appointed in the year 2001. Some of the petitioners were appointed on Class-III posts and some of them on Class-IV posts. They have been terminated from their service under the orders of the Civil Surgeon-cum-Chief Medical Officer, Madhubani. The ground mentioned in the termination order indicate that petitioners were not appointed following the procedure for a legal appointment on Class-III & Class- IV posts. The posts were not advertised, reservation rosters not followed, as such, petitioners’ appointments being illegal, they are being terminated from the service with effect from the date of their appointment. The termination order issued in the year 2001, remained unchallenged for complete nine years. There is no statement to show that for quashing of their termination order, petitioners had approached any proper authority or forum. Almost, after 10 years, present writ application has been filed by the petitioners, challenging the impugned order of termination. Considering the reason mentioned in the impugned 3 termination order and the delay, I do not feel inclined to interfere in the matter. This application is dismissed. Sanjeet (Mridula Mishra, J.)
