IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12809 of 2007 LALA PRASAD Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 6.8.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. No one appears for the State. The petitioner seeks quashing of letter nos. 120 and 121 dated 9.8.2007, so far as they relate to Gram Panchayat Sirnawan, Block Chandi, District- Nalanda, whereby the posts of Secretary and Nyaymitra for Gram Kutchery with respect to the said Panchayat have been declared as reserved for Schedule Tribes (women) candidate. The stand of the petitioner, who is the Sarpanch of the said Gram Panchayat, is that there is no population of Scheduled Tribes available in the District and, hence, the said post will remain unfilled. In this regard, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that a representation was filed by the petitioner on 13.8.2007 before the District Magistrate, Nalanda on whose recommendation, the said order has been passed by the Commissioner of the Division, but no action has been taken on the same. In the facts and circumstances of the case, the writ application is disposed of with a direction to the petitioner to file a detailed representation along with a copy of this order stating all the facts pertaining to the matter before the District Magistrate, Nalanda, who shall consider the same and dispose it of in accordance with law within a period of six weeks from the date of 2 filing of the said representation and in case the contention of the petitioner is rejected, then he must give reasons for such rejection in his order.
