IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4968 of 2009 Annapurna Devi Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ----------- 2/ 22/07/2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The claim is based on a Madhyama qualification for appointment on the post of Secretary, Gram Kutchery on the ground that it was equivalent to Matriculation. The Appointment Rules stipulated Matriculation as eligibility qualification only. Rules have been amended with effect from 31.1.2008. The petitioner appears to be claiming consideration under an advertisement published in 2007 prior to the amendment of the Rules when Madhyama was ineligible even to apply for the purpose. There is no merit in this writ application. It is accordingly dismissed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
