1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State.

2. The petitioners' claim for being appointed in groupD post in the Bhagalpur Collectoriate by virtue of their empanelment is not being granted by the authority in view of judgment passed in CWJC No. 18612 of 2019, wherein, the Court has passed certain directions which are to be followed in the matter of appointment to group-D post.

He submits that they are adversely affected by decision of this Court in the case of CWJC No. 18612 of 2019 ( Kapil Kumar & Ors. Vs. The State of Bihar & Ors. and analogous cases). Though they were not party to the said proceedings it is as a result of the order passed in CWJC No.

State of Punjab & Ors. reported in AIR 1963 SC 1909, or by filing LPA relying on decision of the Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of Ram Janam Singh Vs.
