Mr. N.P.Yadabv, SC 23 Mr. Sudhin Kumar Singh, AC to SC 23 ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MADHURESH PRASAD ORAL ORDER 31-07-2019 Petitioners claim to be M.Sc. Degree holder in Forensic Science. They have discharged contractual duties as
Patna High Court CWJC No.8299 of 2015(6) dt.31-07-2019 2/3 Senior Scientific Officers and Assistants in the Forensic Science Laboratory in the State of Bihar on contractual basis. Petitioners' Counsel submits that weightage in terms of marks granted on account of their experience granted by the notification dated 18.5.2015 does not take into consideration the fact that the marks should be granted having regard to the specific section in which the petitioners have experience so as to give them some preference/weightage for participating in the selection for appointment of Senior Scientific Officer or Senior Scientific Assistant in respect of the section of forensic science in which they have contractual experience.
The essence of the submission is that weightage marks should be based on their work experience in the various laboratory of the State of Bihar otherwise weightage marks would become meaningless if their experience in specific section of forensic science is obliterated.
In this respect it is submitted that the petitioners would be drawing attention of the Principal Secretary, Home Department, so as to make suitable amendment in the notification dated 18.5.2016 as otherwise experience acquired by the petitioners in the contractual appointment would be lost by the State in the matter of appointment.
Patna High Court CWJC No.8299 of 2015(6) dt.31-07-2019 3/3 The writ petition need not be kept pending as the issue has to be considered by the State Government. The writ petition is disposed of. The petitioners in terms of the submission advanced by the petitioners' Counsel would be at liberty to approach the Principal Secretary of the Home Department with their claims.
The writ petition is disposed of.
