IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10786 of 2007 MOHAMMED ABU JAID KAFIL Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 02- 22.9.2008 Heard Mr. Amitabh Bhardwaj for the petitioner, and learned JC to Govt. Pleader no.20. The petitioner raises a grievance with respect to the selection and appointment of Panchayat Teacher in Gram Panchayat Rahimabad in the block of Tajpur, district Samastipur. The petitioner submits that he should have been preferred to respondent no.8 (Mukesh Kumar). 2. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties. It appears that Annexure-3 is the combined merit list where respondent no.8 is at Sl.No.1, and the petitioner is at Sl.No.2, and the former has scored higher mark than the latter. In that view of the matter, the petitioner cannot claim preference for appointment to respondent no.8. 3. The writ petition has no merit and is accordingly dismissed. ( S K Katriar ) mrl
