IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10951 of 2001 SHANTI KUMARI & ORS. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS. With CWJC No.6743 of 1999 ARVIND KUMAR SHARMA & ORS. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS. ----------- 12. 07.09.2009 In view of Annexure-A to the supplementary counter affidavit filed by the respondents today, learned counsel for the petitioners is not in a position to press claim of the petitioners for their appointment from the concerned panel as Annexure-A clearly shows that approval to the panel was refused by the Director(Primary Education), Secondary, Primary & Adult Education Department, Bihar. However, he submits that prior to the said decision, many juniors to the petitioners were appointed leaving out them and so prejudice is caused to them due to non-consideration of their cases at the relevant time. In the circumstances, he submits that petitioners may be given liberty to take steps in accordance with law for claiming damages or compensation for the same to which they may be found entitled in law. The said liberty is granted to the - 2 - petitioners. However, since the basis for claim of the petitioners raised in these writ applications stands extinguished, the writ applications, as prayed by learned counsel for the petitioners, are dismissed as withdrawn.
