IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14674 of 2009 MD.NAZIR AHMAD s/o late Md. Reyasat, r/o village Pathghaghar, P.S. Sangrampur, District - Munger Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR through Chief Secretary, Bihar, Patna Old Secretariat, Patna 2. Principal Secretary, Minority Welfare Department, Old Secretariat (Barrack), Patna 3. Principal Secretary to Personnel and Administrative Reforms Department, Old Secretariat, Patna 4. Secretary to Law Department, Government of Bihar, Patna 5. Registrar General, Patna High Court, Patna ----------- For the Petitioner: Mr. Alim Jang Khan, Advocate For the State: Mr. Rajendra Prasad, AAG I --- 4 7/12/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. This writ petition has been filed in public interest seeking certain basic amenities like Class III and Class IV staff to the Bihar Wakf Tribunal, Patna, whose Chairman is a Judicial Officer in the rank of District & Sessions Judge. Earlier we had passed an order hoping that the Secretary of the Department of Minority Welfare, Government of Bihar, shall find out solution to the problems being faced in running and managing the Tribunal. From the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the State it is apparent that all the basic amenities have been 2 made available to the Tribunal. The only shortcoming is that Steno can take down dictation only in longhand because no proper Steno capable of taking dictation in English Shorthand can be found out by the department. In our view, in the aforesaid facts and circumstances, there is no necessity of keeping this public interest litigation pending. It is, accordingly, disposed of. We have been informed that a dialogue has begun between the State Government and the High Court for finding out a scheme in which some extra sanctioned number of employees may be recruited as Civil Court employees and such trained employees may be deputed to work in different Tribunals constituted by the State Government. We expect that the dialogue shall yield positive result and the number of employees to be recruited as Civil Court employees may be ascertained on an estimate basis at an early date preferably within two months so that recruitment exercise for employment in the Civil Courts likely to begin soon may take care of such extra number of posts also. 3 Let a copy of this order be given to learned Additional Advocate General – I. Neyaz/ (Shiva Kirti Singh, ACJ.) (S. K. Sharma, J.)
