Respondent/s ====================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Gauri Shankar Thakur For the Respondent/s : Mr. G.K. Agrwal Ga10 ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE NAVIN SINHA ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE NAVIN SINHA) 2 13-12-2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is an applicant for the post of Lady Supervisor. The advertisement states that the essential condition for qualification was Graduation. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that if the petitioner fulfils the essential qualification of Graduation, there is no justification for the District Magistrate to deny appointment to her, if otherwise eligible on the ground that her qualification of Madhyama was not equivalent to Patna High Court CWJC No.20631 of 2011 (2) dt.13-12-2011 2 Matriculation. No useful purpose is going to be served by adjourning the matter for a counter affidavit. It may be noticed that it is the specific case of the petitioner that she is a direct applicant for the post of Lady Supervisor and does not seek progression to the same from the post of Angan Bari Sevika. If the petitioner is fulfilling conditions for consideration as a Graduate, the Court finds it difficult to appreciate how the District Magistrate proposes to go behind the advertisement and raise issues not germane under the advertisement as urged. Let the District Magistrate consider the grievances of the petitioner and pass an appropriate reasoned and speaking order within a maximum period of eight weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed. Krishna Chandra Jha/- (Navin Sinha, J)
