IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.19153 of 2011 Dhirendra Kumar S/O Kritnarayan Yadav R/O Vill Kebatgama, P.O.Laxmipur, Chandi Asthan, P.S. Kumarkhand, Distt-Madhepura …………….. Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar 2. The Director General Of Police Having Its Office At Old Secretariat, Patna 3. The Inspector General Of Police Saharsa 4. The Deputy Inspector General Of Police Saharsa 5. The Superintendent Of Police Saharsa 6. The Superintendent Of Police Madhepura …………………. Respondents ---------------------------------- 02. 30.11.2011 Heard learned for the petitioner and counsel for the State. This is the second round of litigation initiated by the petitioner on the basis of speaking order passed by the DIG, Kosi Range at Saharsa, contained in Annexure- 3. This order has been passed in the background that the petitioner had earlier moved the High Court in C.W.J.C. No. 8954 of 2005, making a grievance against his non-selection on the post of a Constable on the basis of an Advertisement No. 1 of 1998. His contention was that he had satisfied all the requirements of such selection and the reason for non-selection was extraneous, if not arbitrary. The speaking order categorically lays down the reason for non-selection of the petitioner. The order indicates that the last person appointed had 178.2 c.m. height in the category to which the petitioner was a claimant and height of the petitioner was 178.1 cm. This fact is also borne out from the master-chart, which was maintained at the time of recruitment. If this is the factual finding with regard to the claim of 2 the petitioner, then obviously the non-appointment is not because of any other reason, but because there were better candidates with better merit even with regard to height, who came to be lastly appointed on the post. Yet another dimension, which is required to be noticed is that the appointment in relation to the said advertisement issued in the year 1998 was completed years ago. It is not an ongoing process, which can be continued from one decade to the next. Writ is dismissed. No interference is warranted in the order impugned. SKM (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
