IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10005 of 2002 AJAY KUMAR CHOUDHARY Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 6. 19.02.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The claim for consideration for appointment is based on the panel of 1994. The law stands settled that no panel can have life beyond one year. If that be so the question of giving seniority to any person because his name being in the earlier panel is contradictory to the law that every panel is a fresh panel prepared annually. This is the mandate of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. To that extent, this Court finds no merit in this application. Counter affidavit in paragraph 9 conceedes that daily wages for 40 days is payable as dues and if he comes to the office he shall be paid. If the petitioner approaches the Respondent- authority along with a copy of the present order, this Court expects that the Respondents shall pay his wages for this period of 40 days within a maximum period of one month from the date of receipt and/or production of a copy of this order. The writ application is allowed only to the extent indicated above. AKS/ (Navin Sinha, J.)
