WP(C) 4072/2008 BEFORE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE B.P. KATAKEY Heard Mr. Basumatary, learned counsel for the petitioner, Mr. Ghosh, lea rned State counsel appearing for the respondent Nos. 1 to 5 and Mr. SK Singha, l earned counsel appearing for the respondent Nos. 6 and 7. The petitioner, by the present petition, has prayed for a direction to t he respondent authorities to appoint her in the grade IV posts pursuant to the s elect list prepared and published on 15.12.2005. According to the petitioner the process for selection to fill up the four grade IV posts was initiated by the D irectorate of Economics and Statistics, Govt. of Assam and the selection committ ee in its meeting dated 15.12.2005 selected four persons including the petitione r for appointment against the four vacant posts. According to the petitioner, in spite of such selection no appointment has been made and hence the writ petitio n. The affidavit-in-opposition has been filed by respondent No. 4 Directora te of Economics and Statistics, Govt. of Assam contending that no appointment co uld be made in view of the interim order dated 8.12.2004 passed in WP(C) No. 889 7/2004. The other ground taken for not making the appointment in the affidavit-i n-opposition is not receiving approval from the Govt. The respondent Nos. 6 and 7 in their affidavit-in-opposition have conten ded that since they were selected vide select list dated 15.10.2003 they are ent itled to be appointed against the posts for which the petitioner and three other s were selected vide the proceeding dated 15.12.2005. Such contention of the sai d respondents has already been rejected by this Court by the judgment and order passed today i.e. 16.12.2009 in WP(C) No. 7546/2004. It appears from the proceeding of the selection committee dated 15.12.20 05 that the process for selection of candidates for appointment in grade IV post s was initiated in respect of four posts, against which the petitioner and three others were selected. The said proceeding further reveals that those four posts falls under the roster point Nos. 46, 47, 48 and 49 of the reservation. One of the grounds for which the appointment pursuant to such selection has not been made is the pendency of WP(C) No. 8897/2004. The said writ petition has already been dismissed by this Court by a separate judgment and order passe d today i.e. 16.12.2009 and hence the said ground for not making the appointment pursuant to such selection is now not available to the respondents. The other ground for not making the appointment is that no approval has been received from the Govt. of Assam for making such appointment pursuant to su ch select. According to the petitioner the selection process was undertaken pursuan t to the approval accorded by the State Govt. and no further approval is require d. Since the Director of Economics and Statistics has already written to th e Govt. of Assam, Planning and Development seeking approval to appoint pursuant to the select list prepared on 15.12.2005, this writ petition is disposed of wit h the direction to the respondent No. 1 to take a decision relating to the appro val of the select list prepared by the selection committee in its proceeding dat ed 15.12.2005, within 45 days from the date of receipt of the certified copy of this order to be produced by the petitioner before the said authority. The Direc tor, respondent No. 4 shall, thereafter, issue necessary orders of appointment s trictly in terms of the position in such select list prepared by the selection c ommittee, subject to according approval as aforesaid. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No cost.
