IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4353 of 2009 Braj Bhushan Sahay & Ors Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ----------- For the Petitioners: Mr. Yugal Kishore, Sr. Counsel. Mr. Virendra Prasad, Adv. For the State : A.C. to G.A.-5. For the B.P.S.C. : Mr. P.N. Shahi & Mr. Sanjay Pandey, Advs. For the State of Jharkhand: Mr. Dhruv Mukherjee, Adv. For the Forest Development Corporation: Mr. J.P. Shukla, Sr. Adv. 2/ 21/07/2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, the State as also for the Commission. Despite the filing of the writ petition on 5.2.2009 after serving two copies of the same in the office of the Advocate General as far back as 4.2.2009, no counter affidavit has been filed except by respondent Nos.5 and 7 representing the State of Jharkhand. The petitioners are stated to be employed in the Bihar State Forest Development Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the Corporation) as Foresters. Their original claim was that under one advertisement 83 persons were selected by the Commission including the petitioners. Two panels were prepared. One was sent for appointment to the Corporation and the other to the Chief Conservator of Forest under the State Government. Both recommendations relating to the post of Foresters, the petitioners desired adjustment in the Forest Department under the State Government. It was contended that persons recommended 2 by the Commission under an advertisement in 1976 for appointment in the State Government could not have been sent to the Corporation. The supplementary affidavit changes the stand completely to now contend an entirely new case that the petitioners have a right to continue in service till 60 years. When the matter was taken up, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that he confines the relief in the present writ application only to the issue of the right to be considered for promotion to the post of Range Officer in the Corporation itself in accordance with law. He relies upon a similar order of this Court in C.W.J.C. No.15701/01. In the nature of the limited relief sought now when no challenge is laid out by the petitioners for entry into the Department of Forest, Government of Bihar, and the relief sought is confined to the service in the Corporation itself, the application is disposed off in similar terms as C.W.J.C. No.15701/01 directing consideration of their case for promotion to the post of Range Officers in the Corporation accordance with law within the time indicated in the aforesaid order. The writ application stands disposed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
