Petitioner was applicant pursuant to Advertisement No./2006 dated 28.08.2006 published in the Hindustan newspaper under the authority of District Magistrate, Sheohar, copy whereof is contained in Annexure-1 to this application. His candidature for appointment on Class-IV post of Peon, Driver has not been considered as according to the authorities who have filed counter affidavit his name is not included in the panel published in the year 2000 from which appointment was to be made in the light of the contents of the advertisement dated 28.08.2006 published in compliance of the orders of the High Court passed in the writ petition and the L.P.A. referred to in the said advertisement. 3. According to the counsel for the petitioner name of the petitioner was included in the panel published in the year 2000 but still his case has not been considered. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that even now he is working as Driver in Sheohar collectorate on daily wage basis and his case should be considered in the light of the instructions of the State 2 Government either for appointment on the post of Driver and if that is not possible, at least for appointment on a Class-IV post in the collectorate and attached offices as he is working in the collectorate from 18.07.2000, which is evident from the order bearing Memo No.273 dated 18.07.2000 passed by the Sub- Divisional Officer, Sheohar, Annexure-4. In this connection, petitioner has also filed representation before the District Magistrate, Sheohar, which is dated 3.11.2006 and is contained in Annexure-5 to this application. 4. From the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the State it only appears that name of the petitioner was not included in the panel published in the year 2000, which was Annexure-24 in the writ petition referred to in the advertisement. From the counter affidavit it however, does not appear that representation of the petitioner dated 3.11.2006, Annexure-5 has been considered and disposed of. 5. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of directing the District Magistrate, Sheohar to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 3.11.2006, Annexure-5 as also consider his case for appointment against Class-IV post in the collectorate at Sheohar in the light of the instructions of the State Government contained in circular letter dated 3.12.1980, 26.05.1987 and 25.04.1997 as early as possible, in any case within a reasonable time.
