Mujumdar AGP for respondent-1. Shri P. D. Meghe Adv. for respondent No.2. CORAM: D. D. SINHA & C. L. PANGARKAR JJ. Dated: 16 th June, 2008. Heard Shri Mardikar learned counsel for the petitioner, learned AGP Shri Mujumdar for respondent no.1 and Shri Meghe learned counsel for the respondent No.2. Counsel for the petitioner submits that in the instant case the respondent Zilla Parishad issued advertisement dated 28.04.2007, whereby applications were invited for the 2 appointment to the post of Extension Officer. Petitioner applied for the said post and the Selection Committee interviewed the petitioner on 13.06.2007 and found qualified and eligible to be appointed on the said post and, therefore, selected the petitioner. The select list dated 16.06.2007 demonstrates that the petitioner was selected for the said post and was at Serial No. 1. However, till this date no appointment order was issued by the Zilla Parishad, hence the petition for necessary direction. Shri Meghe learned counsel for Zilla Parishad has submitted that so far as concerned appointment is concerned there are only 9 sanctioned posts which are required to be filled by direct recruitment and all the 9 posts are already filled in and their names are already mentioned in the affidavit filed by Zilla Parishad and, therefore, appointment order to the petitioner could not be issued. Counsel for the petitioner states that there is still one post vacant where the petitioner can be accommodated, therefore, seeks permission to withdraw the present petition with liberty to file representation only in this regard to the Chief 3 Officer, Zilla Parishad Wardha, within a period of 10 days from today and prayed that direction be given to the Chief Officer Zilla Parishad to decide the same within a stipulated period. On the backdrop of the above facts the writ petition is disposed of as withdrawn with liberty to make representation for the limited purpose mentioned herein above. If such representation is made on or before 30.06.08, we direct the Chief Officer Zilla Parishad to decide the same on its own merit according to law and procedure within a period of 4 weeks thereafter.
