IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11450 of 2006 AKHILESH KUMAR THAKUR & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 08.08.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the state. The petitioners seek cancellation of a panel prepared in the year 2006. The law stands well settled that a panel cannot have a life beyond one year as it becomes contrary to Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India. Only a formal order is required in that view of the matter to hold that no further appointment may be made from the panel of 2006 after expiry of one year. If the respondents so propose, they are required to proceed afresh in accordance with law. The application stands disposed of. pkj (Navin Sinha, J)
