IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.20715 of 2011 ====================================================== Mamta Devi .... .... Petitioner/s Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors .... .... Respondent/s ====================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Gopal Jha For the Respondent/s : Mr. P.N. Sahi Aag14 ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE NAVIN SINHA ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE NAVIN SINHA) 2 16-12-2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner was an applicant for the post of Angan Bari Sevika under an advertisement of 2009. One Reena Kumari was placed at serial 1, respondent No.8 at serial 2 and the petitioner at serial 3. Respondent No.8 came to be appointed. Reena Kumari questioned it before the District Magistrate. While matters were thus being examined, Reena Kumari is stated to have lost interest in the matter as she has procured employment elsewhere. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that if the appointment of respondent No.8 is held to be bad, she stands a chance as the next person in the panel. The District Magistrate may be directed to take the enquiry to its logical conclusion and not to drop it only because respondent No.8 Patna High Court CWJC No.20715 of 2011 (2) dt.16-12-2011 2 may have lost interest in the matter. If an enquiry was validly initiated at a point of time, as alleged by the petitioner, and it has not been concluded till date, let the same be carried to its logical conclusion and after hearing all concerned, including respondent No.8, be disposed by a reasoned and speaking order within a maximum period of four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ application is disposed. Krishna Chandra Jha/- (Navin Sinha, J)
