IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.7478 of 2008 SITA KUMARI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 02 7.5.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Counsel for the petitioner is permitted to add Principal Secretary, Human Resources Development as respondent No.9 pursuant in this writ application. It is very unfortunate that the Panchayat Sevak and Mukhiya are questioning the authority of the District Collector, Rohtas and the Sub Divisional Officer, Sasaram as would be apparent from series of documents including Letter No. 612 dated 1.4.2008 of the S.D.O., Sasaram (Annexure-14 series). In such view of the matter the Principal Secretary of the Human Resources Development Department is directed to hold an enquiry and if it is found that the appointments of the respondents namely Savitri Devi, Mamta Kumari, Punam Kumari, Sunita Kumari, Anita Kumari and Sheo Kumari Devi have been made in an illegal manner and in contravention of the relevant Rule, he will not only take action against the concerned persons, but would also ensure that petitioner is given his due in respect of relief sought by him in this writ application. In order to enable the Principal Secretary of the - 2 - Human Resources Development Department to hold such an enquiry and pass an appropriate order, the petitioner is given liberty to file a fresh representation stating all the relevant facts and enclosing all the relevant documents within a period of three weeks from today and in the event of such representation is filed, the Principal Secretary of the Human Resources Development Department will be under obligation to hold an enquiry and pass a reasoned order within six months from filing of such a representation by the petitioner. With the aforementioned observations and directions this writ application is disposed of. P.K. (Mihir kumar Jha,J.)
