IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5002 of 2009 SUNIL KUMAR & ANR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 20.04.2009 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioners and the learned Counsel for the State. The simple issue involved in this case is whether the approval of appointment of the petitioners made in 2005 is to be governed by the Rules existing then or is it to be governed by the proposed rules under consideration of the Government on 21.8.2007 and thereafter. Apparently, on the face of it, the case of the petitioners for approval of the appointment shall be governed by the Rules as existing on the date of the appointment i.e. in 2005. Any subsequent proposed amendment under consideration is of no consequence and which can have prospective effect only. For that reason Annexure 1 dated 28.3.2009 is accordingly set aside. This Court does not make any observation with regard to the three conditions incorporated in the conditional order of approval dated 12.6.2008 at Annexure 2 and which shall continue to have its full effect in law. The writ application stands disposed. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
