Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar Through It's Secretary, Government Of Bihar, Old Secretariat, Patna 2. The Director General Of Police, Government Of Bihar, Old Secretariat, Patna 3. The Bihar Staff Selection Commission Through It's Secretary, Government Of Bihar, Veterinary College, Patna 4.

Respondents ---------------------------------- 02. 11.11.2011 Petitioner is one of the candidates who applied against vacant post for recruitment, which was to be carried out by the State of Bihar. Appointment related to 299 posts of Sub Inspectors of Police through direct recruitment, which was to be done through what is known as Staff Selection Commission. After selection process writ applications came before the High Court alleging many a things. The issue did not rest at the High Court but travelled to Hon`ble Supreme Court as well. A decision in the case of Arvind Kumar Etc. Etc. Vs. State of Bihar and other analogous cases, came to be rendered on 02.02.2011. This decision is reported in 2011 (3) PLJR 136 (SC). Submission of the counsel for the petitioner is that petitioner should be treated in the same fashion as the Hon`ble Supreme Court treated other candidates and even his claim should be considered when a fresh exercise for 2 written and physical tests is held. In the normal circumstances, the Court would have had no difficulty in allowing such a prayer because all similarly situated persons have been given chances after intervention of the Court but there is a limitation on this count because of the observation of the Apex Court in para 6 of the said decision. Para-6 of the said decision is quoted hereinbelow: “In the peculiar facts and circumstances of these cases, we direct the Bihar Staff Selection Commission to hold fresh examinations for the 299 posts of Sub- Inspectors of Police and only the appellants, who were writ petitioners before the High Court of Judicature at Patna, whose cases were adjudicated upon or are pending before the High Court (total 223 only as per the list given in Court by Mr. Ranjit Kumar, learned Senior Counsel) would be at liberty to appear in the physical and written examinations.” Petitioner has approached the High Court only after the decision had been rendered by the Hon`ble Supreme Court as writ has been filed on 14.09.2011. As liberty has been granted to limited persons to the dispute as per the observation of the Supreme Court, case of petitioner 3 does not come within the ambit of the said decision. If this writ had been filed prior to passing of the order by the Apex Court, petitioner may have had a case. Any indulgence with regard to the claim of the petitioner will have to come from the Apex Court and not by this Court. Writ therefore is dismissed. Petitioner may approach the Hon`ble Supreme Court on this issue in light of the observation contained in para – 6 quoted above. SKM (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
