PETITIONER VERSUS 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE PRINCIPAL SECRETARY, HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA 2. THE DIRECTOR, SECONDARY EDUCATION, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA 3. THE DISTRICT EDUCATION OFFICER, MUZAFFARPUR ………………. RESPONDENTS ----------- For the Petitioner: Mr. Rajendra Prasad Singh, Sr. Adv. Mr. Mukesh Kumar Singh, Adv. For the State: Mr. Gyan Prakash Ojha, AC to GA-3 ***** 04. 04.08.2011 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner claims to have been appointed on Class-IV post in the year 1995. His case is that an advertisement was published in the year 1994 for making appointment in Class-III and Class-IV posts in the district of Muzaffarpur. Names were also called from Employment Exchange, Muzaffarpur. Petitioner’s name was sent by the Employment Exchange, vide letter no. 1007, dated 03.12.1994. He had applied in pursuance of the vacancies advertised through advertisement in the year 1994. He faced interview on 27.04.1995. Merit list was prepared and his name was also included in the list of selected candidates. He was appointed on Class-IV 2 post and was posted vide Memo No. 1310, dated 07.06.1995. Petitioner has also admitted that despite his appointment and posting he was not allowed to join and since then he has not joined, not worked and not paid a single penny as salary. Counter Affidavit filed on behalf of Respondent, District Education Officer, Muzaffarpur is of complete denial. The statement made in the Writ Application regarding selection, appointment and posting of the petitioner has been denied. Even the documents on which reliance has been placed by the petitioner has been said to be forged. Besides, the stand taken by the Respondent No. 3 in his Counter Affidavit, otherwise also, I do not find any merit in this application, considering the fact that petitioner has never been allowed to join since 1995. Cause of action arose to the petitioner in 1995. For several long years, he remained silent. For the first time, he challenged the action of Respondents in the year 2009. I do not find any merit in this Writ Application. Accordingly, it is dismissed. SKM (Mridula Mishra, J.)
