LALITA DEVI Vs. STATE OF JHARKHAND

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD counsel for the parties.

(2.) PETITIONER herein came aggrieved by the selection of the respondent no. 4 as Jal Sahiya in Aam Sabha meeting held on 11.04.2012 for the Panchayat Parasimla Block Dumka, District -Dumka. Her selection was also endorsed by the Block Level Committee for Water and Sanitation comprising of Junior Engineer, Block Development Officer and Member, Zila Parishad.

(3.) THE reason for assailing the selection of Respondent No. 4 is that she is not having the qualification of 10th pass as is required in terms of the Departmental Circular which is referred to in Annexure -1 Minutes of the meeting held on 19.12.2011 under the chairmanship of Deputy Commissioner -cum -Chairman, District Water and Sanitation Committee, Dumka. This, according to the learned counsel for the petitioner, is also supported by the Resolution of the Department dated 19.03.2010 (Annexure -A to the counter affidavit) where qualifications are prescribed for selection to the post of Jal Sahiya. Petitioner admittedly is an Intermediate but her claim has been ignored.
