JUDGEMENT
AMARESHWAR SAHAY, J. -
(1.) HEARD the p3ies.
(2.) THE prayer of the petitioner is for quashing the order dated 03.10.2001, as contained in Annexure 10 and the letter dated 19.02.2001 as contained in Annexure -11, to the writ application
whereby the petitioner has been removed from the Service.
The case of the petitioner is that pursuant to an advertisement issued by the respondents, he applied for being appointed to the post of Junior Engineer in Madhupur Municipality and ultimately
on being selected by the Selection Committee duly constituted for the said purpose, his name was
sent for approval to the Government alongwith the recommendation of the Selection Committee
and till the Government approves his appointment, he was appointed as Junior Engineer on daily
wage basis.
(3.) THE further case of the petitioner is that his appointment was made after fulfilling all the due procedure for appointment and his appointment was approved by the Municipal Board and,
therefore, there was no occasion to seek any direction from the Department of Urban
Development. It has been alleged by the petitioner that the respondent No. 4 terminated his
service by order dated 03.10.2001 on the ground that the Selection Committee was not
constituted properly as there was no specialist in the said Selection Committee. The petitioner
made a representation thereafter and then the Sub -Divisional Officer was directed to make inquiry
and report. It is said that the Sub -Divisional Officer by letter dated 24.12.2001 found that there
was no illegality in the appointment of the petitioner and it was done in accordance with law. After
the receipt of the report of the Sub -Divisional Officer, the respondent No. 4 i.e. the Deputy
Commissioner, Deoghar sought for a direction and guidance from the Government regarding
reappointment of the petitioner. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that there was no
need for respondent No. 4, the Deputy Commissioner, Deoghar to seek direction/guidance
regarding reappointment of the petitioner rather on the basis of the Enquiry Report of the Sub -
Divisional Officer dated 30.01.2002, he should have withdrawn the order of termination from the
service of the petitioner.;
