(2.) ND September, 2004 issued by the Director (CRS), Department of Pension Ministry, Government of India, New Delhi, so far it relates to the petitioner, whereby and whereunder, his services have been allocated to the successor State of Bihar. 2 One of the grounds taken by the petitioner to assail the impugned order is that his wife Smt. Meena Singh is an Assistant Teacher in Indian School of Learning, Saraidhela, Dhanbad and she cannot be transferred or posted to any school within the successor State of Bihar. According to the learned Counsel, the services of petitioner, on the other hand, can be placed in the successor State of Jharkhand as per the guidelines issued by the Central Government. Though such pleading has been made his Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India cannot determine as to whether the services of petitioner, in the facts and in the administrative exigency, should be placed in one or other successor State of Bihar of Jharkhand. The petitioner may bring the same to the notice of the competent authority, who will determine the claim, if possible, within three months.
(3.) SO far as other grounds taken by the petitioner that the State Advisory Committee did not follow the guidelines issued by the Central Government while bifurcating the Cadre of the employees of the successor State, is a mere allegation, no specific instance has been shown to come to a definite conclusion that the decision of the State Advisory Committee is perverse and/or based on no facts.
