IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8170 of 2008 DR.DEOVRAT NARAYAN SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 4. 07.08.2008 Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the State as also the learned Counsel for respondent no. 6. The tussle is for appointment on the post of Superintendent in the Government Ayurvedic College and Hospital, Patna. By a working arrangement the petitioner was made the Superintendent when shortly thereafter he was removed and respondent no. 6 was brought in by way of working arrangement. This Court at this stage does not consider it necessary to consider the rival claims of superiority for appointment to the post of Superintendent in view of the fact whether it be the petitioner or private respondent office was held and is being held respectively on ad-hoc and working arrangement when there may be others in the field for consideration for a regular appointment on the post of Superintendent. The only appropriate order to be passed at this stage is to direct the State respondents to make a regular appointment on the post of Superintendent in the Government Ayurvedic College and hospital, Patna within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt and/or production of a copy of this order before them. On expiry of the period of three months the ad hoc arrangement made by order dated 12.5.2008 appointing respondent no. 6 as the Superintendent shall automatically expire and loose its efficacy under the orders of the Court when the institution shall become without a Superintendent for which the responsibility shall lie with the State respondents itself. Only in the interest of the institution this Court considers it proper not to interfere with the ad hoc arrangement of respondent no. 6 which shall not be construed as concurrence by this Court to the appointment of respondent no. 6 or the working arrangement in that regard The writ application stands disposed.
