Decided On October 17, 2011
Deepak Kr.Sah Appellant
V/S
STATE OF JHARKHAND Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and learned counsel appearing for the State.

(2.) IT is the case of the petitioners that pursuant to the notice inviting applications for being registered as Homeguard in the district of Deoghar, petitioners did apply. After undergoing physical tests, all the petitioners came out successful and their names were impaneled in the list issued under the joint signature of the District Commandant (Homeguard), Deputy Superintendent of Police and the Sub -divisional Officer, Deoghar. That list was published in the newspaper whereby successful candidates were called upon to report to the Headquarters. Accordingly, they did report to the Headquarters but they were not registered as Homeguard. Subsequently, a notice was published in the newspaper that the list published earlier has been kept in abeyance. When nothing was done for a quite long time, the petitioners filed this writ application.

(3.) MR .R.P.Gupta, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that even if it is assumed that certain irregularities have been committed whereby certain persons have illegally been included in the list, the entire selection process does not get vitiated when there has been absolutely no allegation that the petitioners by adopting illegal means got the places in the selection list, and therefore, the petitioners may not be allowed to suffer on account of wrong being done by other persons and under that situation, the authority be directed to proceed with the appointment of those persons who have not been alleged to have committed irregularities.
