For the State:- Mr. Kumar Alok, Adv. ------------- 4. 16.9.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. The Court does not consider it necessary to narrate the full facts of the case as issues are common with C.W.J.C. No. 6826 of 2010. The Court shall therefore only consider the facts necessary demonstrating that the petitioners fit in the same category as C.W.J.C. No. 6826 of 2010. The petitioners are stated to be Senior Audit Officers in the department of Co-operative. The Co-operative Department is one of the specified departments named in the advertisement dated 6.2.2010. The applications for appointment as Block Development Officers on deputation were invited only from Co-operative Extension Officers and not from the Senior Audit Officers of the Co-operative department. The submission of the petitioners that the 3 petitioners also hold a supervisory level post and therefore should have been considered for inclusion in the advertisement as one of the equivalent post holders stands fully covered by the discussion in C.W.J.C. No. 6826 of 2010. The second submission of the petitioners is that when the Department of Revenue and Land Reforms published a similar advertisement on 20.4.2010 it included the Co-operative Department and persons like the petitioners as eligible to apply but wrongly confined the advertisement to the reserved category only. This aspect of the matter has also been discussed in detail in C.W.J.C. No. 6826 of 2010. The present application is therefore fully covered by the order of this Court in C.W.J.C. No. 6826 of 2010 and is disposed off in similar terms. The application to be impleaded as intervenor petitioner is allowed, subject to deposit of full and proper Court fee. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
