IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.15366 of 2005 RATAN KUMAR CHOUDHARY, son of late Bulakan Prasad, resident of village – Babura, P.S. Bhabhua, District – Kaimur, at present posted as Jail Clerk, Central Jail, Gaya. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR through the Home Secretary, Govt. of Bihar, Patna. 2. The Inspector General of Prisons, Bihar, Patna. ----------- For the petitioner: M/S. Rama Kant Sharma, Sr. Advocate and Rajesh Kumar. ***** 02. 29.9.2010 Order under challenge in the present writ application is dated 23rd November, 2005, which is Annexure-1 to the writ application. By virtue of this order petitioner has been reverted on the post of Jail Clerk from the post of Jail Warden. Certain reasons have been indicated for reverting the petitioner along with a large number of similarly situated persons. Many such persons had challenged the wisdom and the legality of such a decision on many an occasions. This Court is not required to go into all those details because the Court has the benefit of a decision on identical issue which was rendered by a Bench of this Court way back in the year 2005 itself. The case in question was the case of Rajniti Kumar Singh and others vs. State of Bihar and others. The above batch of writ applications came to be moved under similar circumstances and the learned single Judge in his wisdom interfered with the order of reversion for the reasons indicated in the said decision. The case is reported in 2006 (2) PLJR 268. What ever be the stand of the State taken in the 2 counter affidavit but keeping in view the decision rendered in the case of Rajniti Kumar Singh (supra), the writ application is allowed and Annexure-1, in so far as it relates to the petitioner, is quashed. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
