Learned counsel for the petitioner also submitted that interlocutory application has been filed in this writ petition for keeping one post of Village Level Worker vacant for District -Lohardaga.

(3.) THIS Court has earlier directed to appoint two Nodal Officers in the Court with mobile and FAX machine. There are two Nodal Officers, appointed by the Government, for the litigations filed in the High Court of Jharkhand. They have got mobile as well as facilities of FAX machine. They have also got separate Peon. Despite these facilities, the Government machinery is still lethargic. It appears that these officers are not taking any care of interest of the State of Jharkhand.
