IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13726 of 2011 Annapurna Mishra W/O Sri Binod Jha (Advocate) , D/O Sri Pradyuman Mishra R/O Mohalla- Babutoal, Banka, P.S. + Distt.- Banka Versus 1. The State of Bihar 2. The Director, Mass Education-Cum-Additional Secretary, Human Resources Development, Govt. of Bihar, Patna. 3. The District Magistrate, Banka. ----------- 02. 15.10.2011 Petitioner is one of the persons who has been offered employment by the HRD Department, Government of Bihar under a policy decision taken to accommodate former employees who worked in the non-formal education programme. Annexure-1 is the so-called offer letter where certain details with regard to qualification, date of birth, caste etc. had been demanded. Petitioner tendered what was required. Vide Annexure-2 the authorities pointed out that date of birth of the petitioner was missing in the matriculation certificate issued to her way back in the year 1968. Petitioner having learnt about absence of date of birth having been recorded in the matriculation certification obtained certification in this regard not only from the school where she had studied but also a fresh certificate showing her date of birth as 15.4.1953 from the Bihar School Examination Board which would be evident from Annexure-6. Petitioner has now produced the same before the authorities but the final decision has not been taken on this count. The only reason which has delayed the appointment 2 of the petitioner is the so-called absence of the date of birth in the so-called certificate issued by the Bihar School Examination Board. In view of the above the writ application is disposed of with a direction upon the District Magistrate, Banka that taking into consideration that the inadequacy pointed out has now been met by the petitioner, immediate steps shall be taken for offering her appointment in terms of Annexure-1 because there does not seems to be any dispute and impediment as such in the way of such appointment. Writ is allowed with above direction. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
