IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.935 of 2005 RAJESH KUMAR JHA SON OF SRI PEETAMBER JHA RESIDENT OF VILLAGE MALCHAK, P.O. DURMASTTA, P.S. HARPUR, DISTRICT MUNGER. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. DIRECTOR, REVENUE ADMINISTRATION, WATER RESOURCES DEPARTMENT, BIHAR, PATNA. 3. DEPUTY COLLECTOR, REVENUE DIVISION, WATER RESOURCES DEPARTMENT, PURNEA 4. DEPUTY COLLECTOR, REVENUE, WATER RESOURCES DEPARTMENT, ARARIA. ----------- 3 16/08/2010 Petitioner claims that he was appointed to work as a seasonal tax collector by the department of Irrigation on seasonal basis for many a years. He has sought direction from this Court upon the respondents for regularization of his post and service. Stand of the respondents in the counter affidavit is that not only was the appointment or job of the petitioner a seasonal one but from the year 1998-99 the State government has stopped taking any work from the tax collectors after the State authorities decided to hand over the work and other related matters to the beneficiaries i.e. the land holders themselves. The reference point of appointment of one Madhav Prasad Singh on whose basis the petitioner claims - 2 - discrimination, has also been explained by the respondents. On the basis of a wrong application of resolution no. 1758 dated 2.5.1992 Madhav Prasad Singh was wrongly appointed and the respondents are more than willing to terminate his service if the Court so directs or opines. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he is not interested in Mr. Madhav Prasad Singh losing his job. He is only interested in his regularization and appointment. Merely because a wrong has been committed by the respondents, the Court is not inclined to give a direction upon the respondents to commit yet another mistake. Even otherwise the petitioner has not worked on the post in question for more than 10 years under a policy decision. There is no occasion at this stage to remotely consider the prayer made in this writ application for such a relief. This writ application is dismissed. AMIN (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
