Naik, JJ. DATE : 26.03.2008. Heard Mr. R.D.Bhuibhar, Adv. for the Petitioner, Mr.V.A.Thakre, Assistant Government Pleader for the Respondent Nos.1 and 2 and Mr. A.S.Deshpande, Adv. for the Respondent Nos. 3 and 4. Counsel for the petitioner states that the respondent nos. 3 and 4 have undertaken the process of appointment of Bal Sangopan Swayamsevika, however, the said respondent did not give publicity by affixing proclamation in this regard at the conspicuous place in the village Chakur. It is submitted that announcement is not made in this regard at the beat of drums and therefore, the petitioner was not aware about the date and time on which the process of selection was initiated by the respondent. Counsel for the petitioner further contended that the respondents have admitted in their submission that the proclamation was neither affixed at the Office of Gram Panchayat 2 of the said village nor publicity is given at the beat of drums in the village expect the Gram Sevak has claimed to have informed the villagers. Counsel for the respondent nos. 3 and 4 does not dispute this fact. In the backdrop of the above referred facts, prima facie we feel that the respondent nos. 3 and 4 ought to have given proper publicity in the village about the process of selection. At this stage, Counsel for the respondent nos. 3 and 4 has submitted that there were two appointments made on the said posts w.e.f. 11.10.2007 temporarily for a period of eleven months. It is also contended that after expiry of eleven months the respondent nos. 3 and 4 shall follow the appropriate procedure applicable in this regard while making fresh appointment such as proclamation shall be affixed at the Office of village Panchayat, publicity will be given at the beat of drum in the village and that they shall also follow other procedures applicable in this regard before the appointments are made. Considered the contentions canvassed by the respective counsel. We have already expressed that the respondents ought to have been more precise in following the procedures while making the appointments. However, since the appointments are on temporary basis only for a period of eleven months and since counsel for the respondent nos. 3 and 4 has made a statement that after expiry of eleven months proper procedure would be followed as observed in the present order while making fresh appointment, hence, we do not 3 propose to show any indulgence at this belated stage in the matter and in view of the above statement made by the Counsel for the respondent nos. 3 and 4, dispose of the said Writ Petition.
