IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14329 of 2009 LALBABU SINGH & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 12.11.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. The petitioners, who were appointed in the District Rural Development Agency, Chapra on different dates are before this court with a claim for absorption in the services of the Collectorate under a policy decision of the Government dated 29.8.2003 at Annexure-2. It is submitted that their appointment in the District Rural Development Agency was against the sanctioned vacant posts after following the prescribed procedures as is urged from Annexure-10 dated 5.1.2006 to the supplementary affidavit filed today. Despite the fact that the aforesaid Government scheme has been implemented and others appointed like the petitioner have been absorbed/regularized in the Collectorate as urged as an example from Annexure-7 dated 22.2.2007 with regard to three persons named therein, the petitioners are being subjected to hostile discrimination by non-consideration. Despite having represented for the same and which papers have been forwarded by the Deputy Development Commissioner, Saran at Chapra to the District Magistrate as far back on 11.3.2008 by Annexure-8, the matter remains pending consideration. Learned counsel for the State has no objection to the 2 disposal of the writ application for consideration of the case of the petitioners but strictly in accordance with the government policy. Let the same be done within a maximum period of six months from the date of receipt and/or production of a copy of this order before the concerned Respondents. If the Respondents propose to hold that the petitioners are not eligible for absorption/regularization in light of the policy decision of the State Government, they shall be required to pass a reasoned and speaking order setting out the grounds item wise with materials in support of the same so that if need of judicial review of the order arises, it shall be facilitated. The writ application stands disposed. AKS/ (Navin Sinha, J.)
