IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1345 of 2011 RAM BABU PASWAN SON OF DEV NARAYAN PASWAN, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE- MALPUR, POLICE STATION- DALSINGSARAI, DISTRICT- SAMASTIPUR. … PETITIONER. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR. 2. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE CUM-COLLECTOR, SAMASTIPUR. 3. SUB-DIVISIONAL OFFICER, SAMASTIPUR. 4. THE DISTRICT ESTABLISHMENT COMMITTEE SAMASTIPUR THROUGH THE COLLECTOR SAMASTIPUR. 5. DEPUTY COLLECTOR DISTRICT NAZARAT- DISTRICT- SAMASTIPUR. … RESPONDENTS. ----------- 2. 27.06.2011. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. He has approached this Court because the district authority of Samastipur while preparing a panel for appointment of Class-IV posts, did not include his name even though he is supposed to be working on daily wage basis from the year 1999, in the Sub- divisional office of Dalsingsarai. Obviously, proper inputs has not been furnished to the district headquarter from the local level, which could be the circumstances why the name of the petitioner has gone missing. There is material to show that the petitioner has approached the various authorities including the District Magistrate, Samastipur but no decision on the claim of the petitioner has been taken as there is nothing to indicate that name of the petitioner has been included or was verified. Since local authorities are custodian of the 2 records and there is no counter affidavit filed on behalf of the State which could indicate the exact position, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction upon the Sub-divisional Magistrate, Dalsingsarai to verify the record with regard to the period the petitioner has been working on daily wage, and thereafter make recommendation to the District Magistrate, Samastipur, who will look into the matter. If the claim of the petitioner stands certified he shall take decision for inclusion of his name for consideration along with the rest for appointment on a Class-IV post in the district. The Court expects the exercise to be completed before any final decision is taken by the district authorities to make final appointments. This writ petition is disposed of with the above direction.
