IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6073 of 2009 MD.MUKHTAR ALAM Versus THE CHIEF SECRETARY,GOVT.OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 18.5.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the State. The petitioner’s sole grievance in this writ application is confined to inclusion of his name in a panel prepared for appointment on Class IV post dated 21.10.2008. According to the counsel for the petitioner, though the petitioner belongs to Backward category but then his name has been included amongst the general category. This aspect of the matter in fact can be better appreciated by the person, who has finalized the panel and the Collector of the District admittedly being the final authority to take a decision in regard to such matter, this Court without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case would direct the Collector of the district to look into the grievance of the petitioner and if it is found that the petitioner had fulfilled the requisite conditions for inclusion of his name in the panel of 2 backward category in terms of the advertisement in question envisaging preparation of panel, he would take an appropriate decision for including the name of the petitioner in the backward category. On the contrary, if it is found that the petitioner was not entitled for being included in the backward category in terms of the advertisement in question, he would only pass an order and give the reasons for not inclusion of the petitioner in the backward category. This exercise must be completed within a period of four months from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order. It is also made clear that if any person junior to him in the panel has either been appointed or would be appointed, the petitioner’s case will also be considered till the life of the panel is not exhausted. With the aforementioned observation, this application stands disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/ 3
