According to the petitioner, Anneuxre-8 is the extract of the panel prepared by the Muzaffarpur Collectorate for regularization of Class III and IV employees in terms of earlier direction of the High Court passed in CWJC No.11168 of 2009 and CWJC No. 9158 of 2009. Petitioner’s name figures at serial No. 268 amongst the list of scheduled caste candidates. The interview in this regard has begun on 12th September, 2011 and is likely to last till 29th September, 2011. Till date petitioner has got no call from the authorities. The representation before the District Magistrate, Muzaffarpur dated 5.7.2011 also has been ignored and therefore, the writ application. Treating Annexure-8 to be an authentic document and looking at the fact that petitioner’s name does figure in the list of the short-listed candidates according to the seniority, the respondents are obliged to give an opportunity if there is no 2 limitation on number of persons who are going to be called for such selection. The writ is disposed of with a direction upon the District Magistrate, Muzaffarpur that taking cognizance of Annexure-9 where factual matrix and the details with supporting materials have been filed by the petitioner, he shall forthwith direct the concerned authority to include the petitioner in the selection process to consider his claim for such regularization before the exercise in this regard ends. It is made clear that if there is any legal impediment in inclusion of the petitioner, petitioner must be told of the same immediately so that he can take recourse to law if such a case is made out in this regard. The compliance will be made no sooner a copy of this order is handed over to the District Magistrate, Muzaffarpur. Writ is allowed. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
