JUSTICE JYOTI SARAN ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE) 5. 10.8.2010. This petition under Article 226 of the Constitution has been filed by one Sanjay Kumar, Chief Councillor of Nagar Parishad, Nawada. The petitioner has grievance in respect of the sanctioned strength of the establishment of the Nawada Nagar Parishad. It is his grievance that the State Government has not sanctioned - 2 - adequate posts so as to meet the requirement of the Nagar Parishad. The proposal for sanction of more posts made in the year 1970 is still pending with the State Government. The dearth of staff paralyses the administration. Learned Advocate Mr. Mani Kant Mishra has appeared for the State Government. He has submitted that on 20th November 1999 the Government has imposed ban on further appointments. He has also submitted that in spite of want of sanctioned post the Nagar Parishad has made appointments de hors the rules and now proposes for more posts so that the illegal appointments can be regularized. He, however, condescends that the State Government shall review the position and the need for more sanctioned posts. He states that the State Government shall consider the request for more sanctioned posts made by the Nawada Nagar Parishad within six weeks from today. In view of the above statement made by the learned Advocate no further order is required to be made except that the State Government will make speaking order whether it grants the request of the Nagar Parishad or refuses it or partially grants it. The order will be communicated to the Nagar Parishad. - 3 - Subject to the above observations, the petition is disposed of. Pawan/- (R.M. Doshit, CJ) (Jyoti Saran, J)
