ANTARA MAJI Vs. DISTRICT INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS

JUDGEMENT

(1.) In Re : CAN 1502 of 2010 This application has been filed in connection with the appeal preferred from the order dated 9th September, 2009 whereby and where under the learned single Judge dismissed the writ petition on merits.

(2.) Going through the impugned order under appeal we find that the learned single Judge specifically held that an empanelled candidate has no indefeasible right to claim appointment. It is true that an empanelled candidate has no right to claim appointment, but the said empanelled candidate has every right to know the fate of the panel since the concerned authorities are under an obligation and duty-bound to take appropriate decision in respect of the panel within a specified period:

(3.) In terms of the aforesaid Rule, District INspector of Schools concerned should take appropriate decision with regard to the approval of the panel and convey the decision within one month from the date of receipt of the panel. Undisputedly, the District INspector of Schools concerned did not convey the decision with regard to the approval of the panel in question till date and thus violated the clear mandate of Rule 9(7)(c) of the aforesaid Rules, 2005.
