MANOJ KUMAR SINGH S/O RAM NARESH SINGH R/O VILL- SIRISIYAN, PO+ PS- KRGAHAR, DISTT-ROHTAS-RESPONDENTS ----------- 2 24.6.2011 Petitioner is seeking quashing of notification contained in annexure-8 dated 5.1.2009. This notification has been issued in the name of Governor in exercise of power under section 146 of Bihar Panchayat Raj Act 2006. Amendments have been brought on record as annexure-8 including the changes. Petitioner alleges that the date i.e. 31.1.2008 given in the said amendment as well as the application of the same with regard to qualification being equivalent to matric is arbitrary and is required to be quashed. Petitioner has failed to point out any infirmity by which the said power of amendment under the rule, duly authorized by the legislature can be held ultravires. No such prayer is entertainable by this Court merely because consideration for appointment of the petitioner has fallen foul due to the said amendment. This writ application has no merit and it is dismissed. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
