PIL 10/2010 BEFORE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR.MADAN B.LOKUR HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. GOSWAMI (Madan B. Lokur, CJ) The substantive prayer in this writ petition is for a direction to quash the advertisements dated 16th/19th February’ 2009 and 24th/26th December, 2009 for filling up the vacant posts in the Assam Civil Services and other allied ser vices. The grievance of the petitioner was that the posts are sought to be fill ed up without adhering to the provisions of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995. By an order dated 24.2.2010, this Court was of the prima facie view that the provisions of the statute aforementioned have not been adhered to in the ad vertisements and, therefore, a direction was given to the respondents not to pro ceed with the recruitment until further orders. The Respondents have now filed an affidavit of Smti Malabika Barua, Join t Secretary to the Government of Assam, Personnel (A) Department. The affidavit is dated 19th February, 2011. The Registry should place the affidavit on record. A copy of the affidavit has been shown to us and it is stated in paragra phs 3 and 4 of the affidavit that the Job Identification Committee has discussed all the aspects in detail and has decided that certain bench marks which have b een notified on 15.11.2010 need to be removed. The posts mentioned in the notifi cation dated 15.11.2010 are also required to be re-identified. It is stated that this would require the approval of the State Cabinet and the process has alread y been initiated. Immediately on receipt of the approval from the State Cabinet, an appropriate notification shall be issued. Learned counsel for the petitioner says that in view of the categorical averments made by the respondents in the affidavit dated 19th February, 2011 not hing further survives in this writ petition. We expect the respondents to adhere to the statements made in the affida vit and to make the recruitments henceforth in accordance with the law laid down in the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995, both in letter and in spirit. We give liberty to the petitioner to file a fresh writ petition in case the respondents issue any advertisement contrary to law. With these observations, this writ petition is disposed of.
