Ranjit Kumar Barman v. The State Of West Bengal And ORS.

Court No. 2 Calcutta High Court In the Circuit Bench at Jalpaiguri Appellate Side WPA 350 of 2025 Ranjit Kumar Barman Vs.

The State of West Bengal & Ors.

(1490) 07.04.2025 (JPD 26) (S. Banerjee) Mr. Aryak Dutta ... for the petitioner Mr. Pretom Das Mr. Sourav Sarkar ... for the State Mr. Amales Ray, Sr. Advocate Ms. Mousumi Bhowal Mr. Nigam Mittal Ms. Prerna Mitra ... for the respondent nos. 3 and 4 The petitioner has challenged a selection process of the year 2010 and has prayed for a direction upon the respondent authorities to prepare a fresh panel.

Mr. Dutta, learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner submitted a representation praying for furnishing certain information but till date no information has been supplied to the petitioner.

Learned advocate for the District Primary School Council submits that the petitioner approached this Court challenging the selfsame selection process in the year 2015 and the petitioner was unsuccessful in the said writ petition.

Record reveals that the petitioner filed a writ petition being WP 11867(W) of 2015 challenging the action of the respondent authorities in not considering the candidature of the petitioner for recruitment to the post of Assistant Teacher in a Primary School under land loser category.

The petitioner has now approached this Court praying for supply of information by submitting a representation dated September 12, 2024.

The information sought for are in relation to a selection process of the year 2010. If the petitioner wanted such information with regard to the selection process, it was well open to the petitioner to seek such information at the relevant point of time. Such a belated challenge to the selection process cannot be entertained by this Court.

For such reason, WPA 350 of 2025 stands dismissed without, however, any order as to costs. (Hiranmay Bhattacharyya, J.)
