Mr Md Nadeem Seraj, GP V Mr Dhurendra Kumar, AC to GP V ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR JUSTICE MADHURESH PRASAD ORAL ORDER 10-10-2022 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the respondents.
In view of the statements made in the counter affidavit regarding selection of three persons, namely, Sanjay Kumar Nirala, Lalan Kumar Thakur and Smt Barti Devi, being as per roster point, learned counsel for the petitioners fairly submits that no case for discrimination is made out since the petitioners are of a different class/category. However, he submits that the authorities should proceed to consider the
Patna High Court CWJC No.862 of 2018(4) dt.10-10-2022 2/2 petitioners' candidature as per due seniority in the panel. Having noted such submission, this Court would observe that the question of petitioners' consideration as per due seniority in the panel would arise only if selection is still being done from the panel dated 27.01.2012. Petitioner has not asserted that selection is still being done from the panel. This Court would, therefore, find that no case is made out.
Writ petition is disposed of.
