IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.13070 of 2011 1. Ashalata Kumari W/O Bhim Kumar Singh R/O Vill.- Kurhabar (Bedhani), P.S.- Deo, Distt.- Aurangabad—Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar through the Secretary Welfare Department, Office Situated At Main Secretariat, P.S.- Sachivalaya, Distt.- Patna 2. The Director, I.C.D.S., Bihar, Patna 3. The District Magistrate, Aurangabad 4. The District Programme Officer, Aurangabad 5. The C.D.P.O., Deo, Aurangabad-----Respondents ---------------------------------- 2 12.9.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties. If the selection of the petitioner has been made contrary to the policy of appointing a person who belongs to the dominant caste i.e. (E.B.C) where the centre is set up and if admittedly petitioner belongs to general category or a forward caste came to be appointed, then the selection per se of the petitioner is illegal and she cannot be permitted to continue on the post. Stand of the petitioner is that only she and two other candidates, all belonging to general caste were available for such post. The assertion itself shows that the appointment was manipulated by not giving proper notice or information in the area on this count in the face of the finding given by the Collector that the Centre in question consists of a dominant community of Extremely Backward Class. In view of above no person belonging to general category could be allowed to continue on the post. Let there be a fresh exercise of appointment from all the eligible candidates of EBC for that centre. No interference is required in this regard with the impugned order. This writ application stands dismissed. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
