IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.11394 of 2011 Amod Kumar Versus The State of Bihar & Ors For the petitioner: Mr.Ebrahim Kabir, Advocate. For the State: Mr. J.C. to S.A.Alam, S.C.3. 2 19.9.2011 Claim of the petitioner for appointment on the post of Sub Inspector was rejected under the communication and signature of Chairman of Bihar Staff Selection Commission, Patna on 15.7.2009 contained in Annexure-6. The ground for such rejection was that the petitioner had obtained caste certification of O.B.C. from the Sub Divisional Officer, Rajgir instead of the District Magistrate or A.D.M., so authorized. The validity for such rejection on such technicality was considered by a Division Bench of this Court in large number of cases which came to be decided in L.P.A. No.416 of 2009 and other analogous cases on 21.4.2011. Contention of the petitioner counsel is that in view of the recent decision of the Division Bench, the reason for rejection of the claim for appointment has lost its meaning and is required to be considered in light of the declaration of law made in L.P.A. no.416 of 2009. Irrespective of the earlier decision contained in Annexure-6 passed by the respondent, if the case of the petitioner comes within the ambit of law laid down under Annexure-7 which is the decision of the L.P.A.Bench claim of the petitioner would also be 2 considered in the light of the same afresh. Writ petition is disposed of with the above direction. AnilKrSinha (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
