IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.8259 of 2011 Dayamanti Kumari @ Ashamani Devi Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ---------------------------------- 2 17.8.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The findings given by the District Magistrate are rather damaging against the petitioner. The only reason why the District Magistrate has taken a lenient view and not directed for institution of a criminal case against the petitioner because she was a woman and simply cancelled her selection. The Court has gone through the reasoning given, the evidence discussed with regard to the status of so called Ashamani Devi-cum-Daymanati Kumari and the difference in their identity, the age etc. I think that it is a clear case of impersonation or efforts to change the identity to get the benefit of appointment with connivance of the Mukhiya. It is the matter which requires no interference or indulgence. In the given facts even the Court was inclined to give direction for institution of a Criminal case against her but looking at the totality of the situation the matter is being allowed to rest. This writ application stands dismissed. RPS ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
