That the principles of natural justice had been complied is not in controversy. The issue of such appointment made by the Rehabilitation Officer under the Land Acquisition and Rehabilitation Section of the Water Resources Department, Government of Bihar. has been subject of consideration recently by this Bench in CWJC No. 287 of 2001 and others disposed on 13.8.2008 when relying upon two earlier Division Bench decisions of this Court, one of them affirmed by the Supreme Court, this Court found no merit in the writ application in the back ground of the appointment not being in consonance of law and the writ applications were dismissed. The present case stands fully covered by the aforesaid judgement. The writ application is accordingly dismissed. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
