IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.239 of 2011 Anand Mohan Kumar son of Sri Ram Janam Singh @ Ram Janam Bhardwaj, resident of village Hasanpur Pipra, P.S. Arwal Dist. Jehanabad ...Appellant Versus 1. The State Of Bihar through the Chief Secretary, Government of Bihar, Patna 2. The Director General-cum-Inspector General of Police, Bihar, Patna 3. The Additional Inspector General of Police (Welfare), Bihar, Patna 4. The Deputy Inspector General of Police, Shahabad Range at Dehri-on-Sone 5. The Superintendent of Police, Arrah 6. The Superintendent of Police, Buxar-cum-Member Selection Committee, Buxar ....Respondents ----------- For the Appellant: Mr. Alok Kumar Sinha, Advocate For the State: Mr. Mrigendra Kumar, AC to SC X --------- 3 06-05-2011 Heard learned counsel for the appellant and learned counsel for the State. The appellant wanted benefit of 50% reservation in favour of Home guards of the State of Bihar as per advertisement contained in annexure-2. A perusal of annexure-2 shows that there is a specific stipulation that 50 % posts reserved for Home guards can be filled up only by Home guards of Bihar and not those of other States. Admittedly, appellant was not a Home guard of State of Bihar. Hence, his claim has been rightly rejected by the learned writ court. The reasoned order passed by the authorities contained in annexure-5 gives sufficient explanation to distinguish the judgement contained in annexure-7 which was in the context of an 2 earlier recruitment process having different stipulations. On behalf of the appellant a further submission was advanced that in 1986, by annexure-6 a direction was made for filling up 50 % post of constables from the members of Home guards. It has been pointed out that in that letter there is no stipulation that Home guards must be of the State of Bihar. The aforesaid submission does not have any merit in view of clear stipulation in the advertisement published in the year 1998. Obviously, much water has flown down the Ganges after 1986. The terms and conditions of the advertisement cannot be ignored by the authorities including the State of Bihar. We find no merit in this appeal. It is, accordingly, dismissed.
