IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11157 of 2008 SUNIL KUMAR, S/O SRI RAM GANESH YADAV, R/O VILLAGE-KHAIRAMAT (G), P.S.-JAYNAGAR, DISTRICT-MADHUBANI. ……………PETITIONER. Versus 1. PATNA UNIVERSITY, THROUGH ITS REGISTRAR. 2. VICE-CHANCELLOR, PATNA UNIVERSITY, PATNA. 3. REGISTRAR, PATNA UNIVERSITY, PATNA. ……………RESPONDENTS. ----------- 3 26.07.2011 An advertisement was published in 2005 for appointment on class-III and class-IV posts in the University. Interviews were held and selection process was completed and the result of class-III was published. However, the result of class-IV remains pending. Since the petitioner was an applicant for class-IV post, he has filed this writ application for a direction to the University to publish the result and appoint persons who are found eligible for appointment on class-IV posts in the University. Petitioner sought information from the University under the R.T.I. Act and by reply dated 17.03.2008, as per Annexure- 2/1, he was informed that the process for appointment on class-IV posts was going on. Learned counsel for the University 2 was directed to seek instructions from the University as to why the process has not been completed and appointments have not been made. On instructions, he informs this Court that the State Government through letter no.2034 dated 07.10.2009 has imposed a ban of any fresh appointments on non- teaching posts. Hence, he submits that the University has not published the result of examination for appointment on class-IV posts. The letter has been produced by the learned counsel for the University in Court for its perusal. In view of the said ban imposed by the State Government, this Court does not considers it appropriate to direct the University to publish the result and make appointments on the posts advertised through Advertisement NO.1 of 2005. However, it is made clear that, as soon as the ban imposed by the Government is withdrawn, or if the University seeks a specific direction from the Government for permitting it to publish the result and said permission is granted to the University they must publish the result 3 immediately and make appointments positively within three months thereafter. The writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations and directions. Arvind/ ( J.N. Singh, J.)
