IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13738 of 2006 SUDHIR KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS For the petitioner Mr. Ajit Kumar Sinha For the BPSC Mr. Sanjay Pandey, Advocate For the State Mr. Santosh Kumar, SC 22 Miss Kalpana JC to SC 22 ----------- 2 07.08.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel appearing for the Bihar Public Service Commission. In pursuance of Advertisement No. 20 of 1998 published on 26.01.1998 by the Commission the petitioner applied to be considered for appointment on the post of Village Level Worker. He passed both preliminary test and main examination. The results were then published by the Commission when he claims he succeeded in the same also. Thereafter on 6.1.2003 a show cause notice has been issued to him that it has been found through enquiry that petitioner adopted unfair means in the examination to succeed. The petitioner replied to the same on 1.10.2003 denying that he adopted any unfair means. The show cause apparently on the face of it is completely vague does not spell out the nature or manner of the unfair means adopted to condemn the petitioner for adopting unfair means by the petitioner. This court is satisfy that it is not a show cause at all. If the petitioner was required to show cause, it was obligatory on the part of the commission to apprise the petitioner of the allegations and materials, which he was required to meet. This Court, therefore, holds that Annexure 3 dated 6.01.2003 is not a show cause at all. The same is accordingly quashed. The Writ Applications stand allowed. It may only be noted from the supplementary affidavit that recommendations are still being made in 2007 arising out of advertisement of 1998. Kundan (Navin Sinha, J.)
