CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE P. B. BAJANTHRI
and
HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN KUMAR JHA
ORAL JUDGMENT
(Per: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE P. B. BAJANTHRI)
Date : 16-02-2023
In the instant writ petitions, petitioners have prayed for the
following relief/reliefs:
"i. For quashing of Rule-9(1)[ii] of Rules "Bihar Water
Resources Department Subordinate Engineering
Patna High Court CWJC No.3411 of 2022 dt.16-02-2023
(Civil) Cadre Recruitment (Amendment) Rules, 2017
contained in Notification no. 3950 dated 07.11.2017
prescribing technical qualification eligibility for
selection/appointment to the technical post in the State
of Bihar, as being inconsistent with other statutory
provisions, in contravention of the Hon'ble Supreme
Court's judgement and is violative of fundamental
rights guaranteed under the Constitution of India.
ii. For declaration of thee aforesaid rules as being ultra
virus to the Constitution of India so far amendment of
Rule - 9 (1) (iii) is concerned.
iii. For any other relief/reliefs to which the petitioner is
found entitled too."
2. Matter is relating to selection and appointment to the post
of Junior Engineer. In this regard, advertisement was issued on
08.03.2019. From time to time matter was taken up for hearing
and during the course of the hearing we have noticed certain
errors in the relevant Rules governing the post of Junior Engineer.
Ultimately State Government has taken a decision to cancel the
process of recruitment to the post of Junior Engineer with
reference to advertisement issued on 08.03.2019 and proposed to
issue a fresh or amendment of Rules while rectifying certain
errors which have crept in the existing Rules. To that effect,
supplementary counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of
respondent No. 4 while enclosing decision dated 25.01.2023 vide
Annexure - A to the supplementary counter affidavit. Perusal of
Patna High Court CWJC No.3411 of 2022 dt.16-02-2023
the same, it is evident that certain errors which have crept in the
Rules would be carried in amendment of relevant Rules etc. The
proposed action of the State respondents reads as under:
"4. सम्यक वविचचाररोपरचारांत बबैठक मम वनिम्निचारांवकत वनिरर य ललियये गयये :
(क) वितर मचानि मम उत्पन्न विबैधचावनिक जवटिलि ससस्थिवतययों करो दृवष्टिगत रखतये हह ए वबहचार तकनिनीकक

3. In the light of these new developments, the present
petitions do not survive for consideration. Accordingly, State is
permitted to carry out necessary amendment and proceed afresh to
advertise for the post of Junior Engineer.
4. From the date of last advertisement till date, almost four
years have elapsed, therefore, such of those candidates who are
likely to be over-aged with reference to ensuing advertisement, for
such of those candidates (who are applicants to the advertisement
dated 08.03.2019), State Government must make a provision in
Patna High Court CWJC No.3411 of 2022 dt.16-02-2023
the proposed amendment insofar as giving age relaxation as a one
time measure. The above exercise shall be completed within a
period of four months from the date of receipt of this order.
5. Pending I.A., if any, stands disposed of.
6. At this stage, learned counsel for one of the contesting
respondent submitted that liberty may be reserved to challenge the
proposed amendment. Such liberty is not necessary for the reasons
that as and when Rules or amended rules were issued afresh, it
would be a fresh cause of action to the respective parties.
