The State of Bihar and its officials, aggrieved by the order dated 13.7.2005 passed in C.W.J.C.No.15 of 2005, have preferred this appeal under Clause 10 of the Letters Patent. 2 In view of the order, which we propose to pass in this appeal, it is inexpedient to give in detail the facts of the case. Suffice it to say that the writ petitioners- respondents, aggrieved by the order terminating their service, preferred the writ application. When the matter was taken up by the learned Single Judge, both the party accepted that the relief claimed by these petitioners is covered by the order of another learned Single judge dated 6.7.2005 passed in C.W.J.C.No.12302 of 2003 and analogous cases. In view of aforesaid, by the impugned order, their orders of termination have been quashed and the writ application disposed of in terms of the order dated 6.7.2005 passed in C.W.J.C.No.12302 of 2003. Mr. S. Arshad Alam,, Standing Counsel No.IV, appearing on behalf of the appellants, submits that the order passed by the learned Singh Judge dated 6.7.2005 in C.W.J.C.No.12303 of 2003 was assailed in L.P.A.No.1334 of 2005 and the said L.P.A. along with L.P.A.No.1211 of 2005 and analogous cases, have been disposed of by a Division Bench of this Court by order dated 22nd of November, 2006 with the following directions to the Government of Bihar: 3 (1) The Chief Secretary, government of Bihar is directed to constitute a Committee of three Secretaries within a period of one month from today to examine the manner and mode and the type of Modus Operandi whether the appointments are in consonance with the recruitment Rules, regular, legal or, (2) The Committee shall consider the individual case after giving an opportunity of hearing to the affected employees and reach to a decision as to the nature of their appointments whether legal or not and valid or not, (3) The committee shall, obviously, take the decision in the light of law laid down by the Constitution Bench in Secretary, State of Karnataka and others Vs. Uma Devi (3) and others: (2006) 4 SCC 1 and in particular, the observation of the Hon’ble Supreme Court which are quoted hereinabove, particularly, paragraph l53 of the said judgment, (4) It shall also be remembered that the exercise of regularization, if required, shall be one time measure for the whole department and no further such exercise shall be permissible,, (5) The exercise by the Committee is directed to be completed within six months and in the event of any necessity it will be open for the concerned party to seek extension of time from this Court, (6) The State is directed to maintain the sta tus-quo.” In this appeal, Mr. Rajendra Prasad Singh, Senior advocate, appearing on behalf of the writ petitioners-respondents, however,, contends that their case stands on a different footing. 4 Fact of the matter is that the writ application filed by the writ petitioners- respondents, was disposed of in terms of the order dated 6.7.2005 and from the order impugned, it is evident that both the party accepted the position that the case is covered by the order passed in C.W.J.C.No.12302 of 2003. In that view of the matter, we are not inclined accept this submission in the present appeal. This appeal stands disposed of in terms of the direction of this Court dated 22nd of November, 2006 passed in L.P.A.No.1211 of 2005 and analogous appeals. ahk (C. K. Prasad) (S.C.Jha)
