IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12450 of 2007 SHANTI DEVI, wife of Sri Kant Mandal, resident of village Kishanpur, Gram Panchayat, Kishanpur, P.S. Sultanganj, District Bhagalpur … Petitioner Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. District Magistrate, Bhagalpur, District Bhagalpur 3. District Welfare Officer, Bhagalpur, District Bhagalpur 4. District Superintendent of Education, Bhagalpur, District Bhagalpur 5. Child Development Project Officer, Sultanganj, District Bhagalpur 6. Mukhiya of Gram Panchayat, Kishanpur, Block Sultanganj, District Bhagalpur 7. Sunita Srivastava, W/o Chadra kant Madal, resident of village Kishanpur, via Chanpanagar, District Bhagalpur … Respondents. ----------- 2. 17.12.2009 No one appears for the petitioner. Counsel for the State is present. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows: “This writ application is being filed for issuance of writ in the nature of mandamus for direction to the respondents for considering the case of petitioner for appointment on the post of Sevika in the centre of anganbari in middle tola Kishanpur and further issue direction to respondents to give consequential benefit w.e.f. date of consideration of the other persons and further give other legal consequential benefit to the petitioner.” 2 From the perusal of Annexure 4 it appears that the petitioner’s representation for the aforementioned relief was initially filed before the prescribed authority, namely, the Collector of Bhagalpur District on 26.4.2007 but when no order thereof was passed by the said authority for almost six months, the present writ application came to be filed. In the opinion of this Court the whole concept of internal remedy gets nullified if the prescribed authority as per the Government decision does not act and pass his final orders. Be that as it may, now the State Government in its recent circular dated 10.12.2009 has also fixed the time limit both for disposal of the representation by the Collector and/or appeal by the Commissioner, this Court would give liberty to the petitioner to file a fresh representation which would be disposed of by a speaking order within the time frame now fixed by the State Government in its latest circular dated 10.12.2009. 3 With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is disposed of.
