Singh, Advocate For the State : Mr. Mihir Kunal Ekka, AC to SC-I …...... 02 /25.02.2026: Heard the learned counsel representing the petitioners and the learned counsel representing the respondents. 2. By filing this writ petition, the petitioners have prayed for a direction upon the respondents to consider the case of the petitioners for direct appointment as a Class-IV employees in District of Palamau, pursuant to Resolution No.2162 dated 03.09.2009. 3. After hearing the parties at length, I find that in 2009 a Resolution (Annexure-1) was passed to give appointment to Primitive Tribes. This was a one-time special drive to give 2026:JHHC:5525 2 employment to the members of the Primitive Tribes. Though this Tribes was included in the list of the Scheduled Tribes, it was decided that 20% of the available vacancy can only be filled through them. 4. Pursuant to the said Resolution, based on the applications, a list was prepared and appointment was granted. Entire process came to an end in the year 2014. It is the grievance of the petitioners that though the name of the petitioners appeared in the list at Serial Nos.46, 6 and 19 respectively, they have not been appointed. 5. After going through the petition, I find that the petitioners in fact have got no right to be appointed. Further the entire process has come to an end in the year 2014 and the petitioners has approached this Court after more than 11 years. 6. In this case, I find that the petitioners have got no right to be appointed and further even if they had some, they slept over the same for 11 years, thus, on the ground of delay and latches and also on the ground that there is no legal right of the petitioners to be appointed, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition. 7. Accordingly, the instant writ application stands dismissed. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 25.02.2026 Tanuj/CP-2 Uploaded on 27.02.2026
