(3.) This Public Interest Litigation (Writ Petition) has been filed by the petitioner who is a member of Zila Panchayat, Muzaffarnagar and was elected from Khatauli Block. The petitoner made an averments in the writ petition that being a public representative , the petitioner is bound to discharge her duty with utmost sincerity and vigilance and to put forth any misdoing or corrupt practice before the concerned appropriate authority. The petitioner believes that if on the basis of material on record, the appointment assailed in the present petition is cancelled by this Hon'ble Court then it would open way for fresh recruitment which in turn would benefit bonafide aspirants. He further submits that by way of present PIL, the petitioner seeks to highlight complete disregard to the existing laws, rules and guidelines with respect to an appointment made at the office of Zila Panchayat, Muzaffarnagr. The petitioner seeks to invite the attention of this Hon'ble Court towards the appointment of Respondent NO.5 who, over a period of time, has been regularized on the permanent post of stenographer. Not only the existing rules with respect to appointment on such post were deliberately flouted by the Zila Panchayat (respondent No.3) but also the orders/directions of the State Government were maliciously interpreted to extend unjust benefits to respondent No.5.
