IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC NO.3396 OF 2008 CHANDRA PRAKASH MANDAL, SON OF LATE GANESH MANDAL, RESIDENT OF MANDAL NAGAR, WARD NO. 5, STAMADHI, BIHAR ….PETITIONER VERSUS 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE COMMISSIONER –CUM- SECRETARY, ANIMAL HUSBANDRY DEPARTMENT, BIHAR, PATNA 2. THE DIRECTOR, ANIMAL HUSBANDRY DEPARTMENT, BIHAR, PATNA 3. THE REGIONAL DIRECTOR, ANIMAL HUSBANDRY DEPARTMENT, NORTH BIHAR REGION, MUZAFFARPUR 4. THE DISTRICT ANIMAL HUSBANDRY OFFICER, ANIMAL HOSPITAL, SITAMADHI …………………………………………………………………………..RESPONDENTS ******** 2 07/04/2011 This writ application has been filed with a prayer that the Principal Secretary of the Animal Husbandry Department should weed out the illegal appointments made in the Department and also to make regular appointments on Class-III and Class-IV posts which are lying vacant for more than a decade. This Court cannot pass any order directing the Department to make regular appointments. It is open to the State Government to consider whether it requires persons to fill in the posts which are vacant. As far as the prayer of the petitioner for weeding out the illegal appointments is concerned, this Court cannot conduct a roving enquiry as to who are the persons who are illegally working in the Department of Animal Husbandry. Specifically, this Court cannot rely on Annexure-4 which is a letter given by the Office of the 2 Animal Husbandry to the District Magistrate, Sitamarhi mentioning certain persons who are illegally appointed as it is of the year 2000. It is well settled law that those persons who are illegally appointed should not be permitted to continue and specific directions are required in this matter. This application is thus dismissed.
