KESHAB CHANDRA DHARA Vs. STATE OF WEST BENGAL

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE writ petitioner has filed this application praying for the following reliefs:-

(2.) ON the recommendation of the Selection Committee and its acceptance by the Executive Council of the respondent university in its 64th Meeting held on October 17, 2012, the writ petitioner has been appointed Assistant Director (Farms), Directorate of Research, Extension & Farms, West Bengal University of Animal & Fishery Sciences in the revised pay scale of Rs.15,600-39,100.00 and Grade Pay of Rs.8,000.00 against existing vacancy upon certain terms and conditions.

(3.) THE petitioner has contended that there is no Farm under the respondent university at Ramsai. The State Government took over the Ramsai Farm, but, by a decision of the Division Bench dated February 9, 2004, the State Government has been directed to hand over the entire land of the farm and that of Krishi Vigyan Kendra to Ramkrishna Seva Kendra. So, the order of appointment at Ramsai by the respondent university is without jurisdiction and violative of fundamental rights of the petitioner. So, the petitioner filed a representation dated December 7, 2012 requesting the respondent university to reconsider the decision of posting at Ramsai. The petitioner should be allowed to function as Assistant Director (Farms) at Mohanpur Campus upon quashing the impugned resolution of the Executive Council dated October 17, 2012.
