1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.17547 of 2009 DINESH RAM Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 02 23/02/2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. On the own showing of the petitioner he was empanelled for appointment in the Bihar Police in the wait list to be considered in accordance with reservation roster and availability of vacancies. Mere empanelment creates no right to demand appointment. Though, there is no pleading in the writ application that a person below him in the merit panel and therefore, having a lesser merit position has been appointed, submission is made to the effect in the Court. The writ application is disposed off with the direction that if the petitioner files a proper representation making full disclosure of the name, marks, merit position of the person below him in the same category to which the petitioner belongs has been appointed, only in that event are the respondents required to consider his representation and dispose of the same in accordance with law by a reasoned and speaking order preferably within a 2 maximum period of four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Any placement of two candidates with similar marks has to be decided by the respondents strictly in accordance with law on the principles settled in this regard after hearing the concerned persons. The writ application stands disposed. P.K. ( Navin Sinha, J.)
