IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.3147 of 2007 Kalindi Kumari, wife of Late Pradeep Kumar Singh, resident of H.J.Bhabha Road (near Jail Road) Gaya, Police Station Rampur, District-Gaya, at present posted as Laboratory Incharge, Psychology Department, Gaya College, Gaya under Magadh University, Bodh Gaya. Versus 1. The State of Bihar 2. Magadh University, Bodh Gaya through its Vice-Chancellor 3. Shri B.N.Pandey, the Vice-Chancellor, Magadh University, Bodh Gaya, District-Gaya 4. Shri D.K.Yadav, The Registrar, Magadh University, Bodh Gaya, District-Gaya ----------- 4. 22.12.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the University. By the order under contempt the direction was to the Registrar of the University to pass speaking order on the representation of the petitioner for the regularization of her service considering the fact that she was working with the College in question for 18-19 long years. In the order dated 15.3.2008 passed by the Registrar, Magadh University, it is stated that the petitioner had applied for appointment on compassionate ground and earlier by University letter dated 4.4.84 she had been appointed as Lab Incharge, Department of Psychology, Gaya College, Gaya on daily wages but subsequently by University’s letter dated 10.6.1985 the Principal of Gaya College was directed to appoint the petitioner on the post of Lab Incharge on temporary basis and accordingly she was appointed on the post of Lab Incharge on compassionate ground. It is further stated that her appointment is regular appointment and since the date of joining she is getting regular salary in the prescribed pay scale and 2 her post verification and pay fixation was also done much earlier by the State Government and at present she is getting salary in the pay scale of Rs. 4500-7000 as Lab Incharge and therefore, there is no need of passing any fresh order for regularization of her services as she is working on a sanctioned post. In view of the aforesaid facts stated in the order dated 15.3.2008 not only the order under contempt stands complied with but it appears that the entire writ petition was wholly misconceived considering the fact that almost 19 years prior to the said order she had already been given regular appointment against a sanctioned post on compassionate ground. The Contempt application is accordingly dismissed. S. Pandey (Ramesh Kumar Datta, J.)
