IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1937 of 2008 MD.KAMALUDDIN ANSARI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3. 09.02.2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the State. The issue in this application is with regard to equivalence of the qualification of Fokania from the Bihar State Madarsa Education Board and whether it be equivalent to Matriculation, the prescribed qualification for the purpose of appointment on the post of Secretary, Gram Kutchery. Learned Counsel relies upon state notification no. 4226 dated 11.3.1977 declaring that Fokania was equivalent to Matriculation for purposes of employment in the Government. If that notification has not been varied, modified or rescinded till date the respondents are naturally required to consider the claim of the petitioner. Let such consideration be done for appointment of the petitioner in accordance with law on the post of Secretary, Gram Kutchery and disposed by a reasoned and speaking order within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt and/or production of a copy of this order as his claim is that he was at serial one of the merit panel and was denied appointment only on that basis. The writ application stands disposed. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
