IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12296 of 2009 TAPESHWAR PANDEY & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 03 30.07.2010 I.A. No. 5919 of 2010 has been filed for a direction to the respondents to fill up sanctioned vacant Class-IV posts in the Department of Home Guard. If there are sufficient vacant posts, considering the need of the employer for engagement of personnel steps should be taken to fill up the same. However, this Court finds it difficult at this stage to issue a mandamus to fill up the posts. Needless to state that if sanctioned vacant posts exist, the respondents State cannot make an Ad-hoc/daily wage appointments against such sanctioned vacant posts and continue them indefinitely without resorting to regular appointments. That disposes off the writ application itself, because no further relief is being pressed in this writ application. It is expected that the State Government shall take an appropriate decision in the matter with regard to appointments within a preferably period of four months. The application stands disposed. P.K.
