IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.619 of 2010 1. PRADEEP KUMAR VERMA S/O YADUNANADAN PRASAD, PANCHAYAT SECRETARY, MAGRAMA PANCHAYAT, GAYA R/O VILL MUHALLA SAMEER TAKIYA, KALI BARI, P.S CIVIL LINES GAYA, DISTT- GAYA Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH SECRETARY HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA 2. DISTRICT EDUCATION APPOINTMENT APPELLATE AUTHORITY, GAYA 3. SMT. RANJU KUMARI D/O SHRI SATYENDRA PRASAD, R/O VILL- LAV P.O LAV, P.S- TEKARI, DISTT- GAYA ----------- 02/ 14.05.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel appearing for the State. Petitioner Pradeep Kumar Verma is presently posted as Panchayat Secretary at Magrama Panchayat in the district of Gaya. The order, which has been challenged by the petitioner, is dated3.9.2009 passed in Case No. 592 of 2009 by District Teachers Employment Appellate Tribunal, Gaya. By the impugned order the selection made by the Appointment Committee of Gram Panchayat Margama on 28.2.2009 had been cancelled and a direction had been issued for holding fresh counselling for appointment against five posts of teacher in the concerned Gram Panchayat. The Selection Committee on the basis of counselling done on 28.2.2009 had selected two candidates Sangeeta Kumari and Saba Hussain. Ranju Kumari, who was also one of the candidates, was not allowed to participate in the - 2 - counselling, even though as per her claim she was present there till 4.00 p.m.. Being aggrieved she filed an appeal before the Tribunal and the Tribunal has passed order for fresh counselling.. I find that this writ application is not maintainable at the instance of petitioner Pradeep Kumar Verma, who is posted as Panchayat Secretary in the concerned Gram Panchayat. He is a government employee and by the impugned order no injury has been caused to him. Only persons, who could have any grievance against the impugned order, are the persons, who are selected on account of counselling dated 28.2.2009. They are Sangeeta Kumari and Saba Hussain. Since they have not chosen to challenge this order, the Panchayat Secretary has no locus to challenge this order. This application is dismissed. DKS/ (Mridula Mishra, J.)
