IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.16359 of 2007 Rajendra Prasad, son of late Shukhi Mahto, resident of Village Dhamar, P.S. Rajgir, Dist. Nalanda. ----------- Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. The Secretary, Department of Health, Government of Bihar, at Patna. 3. The District Officer, Nalanda at Biharsharif. 4. The Civil-Surgeon-cum-Chief Medical Officer, Nalanda at Biharsharif. 5. The In-charge Medical Officer, Basic Health Centre, Rajgir in- Charge Medical Officer, Basic Health Centre, Rajgir. --------- Respondents ----------------- 2 19.12.2011 No one appears on behalf of the petitioner. Counsel for the State is present. In this writ application, the petitioner assails an order canceling his deputation on the post of Basic Health Worker. In the counter affidavit, it has been explained that after the petitioner was appointed as a Basic Health Worker on 6.6.1980, he was working at the Primary Health Center and his order of deputation was withdrawn in view of the exigency of work. Despite service of counter affidavit on the counsel for the petitioner, no rejoinder has been filed. From reading of the materials on record, it becomes clear that the petitioner’s appointment on the post of Basic 2 Health Worker and his continuation in Primary Health Worker, Rajgir till 31.12.1996 is not in doubt. Therefore, if the petitioner was deputed in referral hospital, Rajgir, his such deputation could have been terminated at any point of time, inasmuch as, such deputation did not vest any right in the petitioner to continue at Rajgir. That being so, this application, questioning the order of cancellation of his deputation, is wholly misconceived and is, accordingly, dismissed. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
