The order of this Court dated 3.5.2011 reading as follows: “No one appears on behalf of the petitioner. Counsel for the State is present. While this Court would go into the question raised by the petitioner in this writ application, it would be necessary to first note as to whether the case of the petitioner on the basis of his being a daily wages (Muster Roll) employee was ever considered for his being regularized in service either in the Work Charge Establishment or in the Regular Work Charge Establishment. Counsel for the State prays for and is allowed a week's time to file supplementary counter affidavit on this aspect. List this case on 12th of May, 2011 as a first case, subject to part heard ”. has not been complied by the counsel for the State. In that view of the matter, this Court would direct the Director-in-chief of PHED to consider the grievance of the petitioner with regard to his being reverted from the post of regular Plumber to Muster Roll Khalasi by the impugned order dated 08-09-1995 passed by the Executive Engineer, PHED, Chapra. To that extent, the petitioner will have also liberty to represent his case for justifying the earlier post of Plumber held by him since 01-07-1995. It is however made clear that this Court has not gone into the merit of the claim of the petitioner. With aforementioned observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of.
