The petitioners who claimed to have been appointed and trained as Dalpati are before this Court with claim to be considered for appointment on the post of Panchayat Sewak. Learned counsel for the petitioners relies upon an order of this Court dated 11.09.2008 passed in C.W.J.C.No. 151 of 2005 and its analogous cases which has been disposed of, noticing the new guidelines of the State Government for such appointment as incorporated in Memo No. 1561 dated 28.03.2008. This Court considers it proper to quote the relevant - 8 - part of the order dated 11.09.2008: “ The supplementary affidavit states that the respondent State has issued memo no. 1561 dated 28.3.2008 on the issue of considering Dalpati for appointment on the post of Panchayat Sewak. A cut off date i.e. 23.8.1993 has been fixed. Guidelines have been laid down for the mode, method and manner of consideration, including the issue of age relaxation, for persons like the petitioners who, because of the protracted litigation, may have become over aged during the pendency of the litigations. If policy guidelines have been framed by the respondents including issues of age relaxation and if the petitioners are covered by the policy guidelines, naturally they are required to be considered in accordance therewith. The respondents are directed to consider the case of the petitioners for such appointment in accordance with the law within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of the order. The writ applications stands disposed.” Learned counsel for the State has no objection if all the writ applications are disposed of in the light of the orders of this Court. The writ applications stand disposed of in similar terms as incorporated in the order dated 11.09.2008, quoted above. B.Tiwary/ (Navin Sinha ,J)
