(1) ON 3/02/1987 a three Judge bench presided over by the learned chief justice and consisting of two of us made the following order: IT is prayed on behalf of the respondents that the Stale of Bihar may be permitted to fill the posts of Civil Assistant Surgeons. We undersand that the process initiated by the State public service commission is under way and will be completed shortly. As soon as the State public service commission intimates the resuits of this examination to the State government, it will be open to the State government to fill those posts.... More than six months have passed and the posts of doctors have not been filled up. Obviously the public service commission has not been able to rise to the occasion. (2) SEVERAL posts of doctors have been going vacant and people of Bihar appear to have been deprived of medical assistance to a considerable extent. The High court had given the direction almost three years back to the Commission for completing the recruitment for filling the vacancies. It is unfortunate that within three years the recruitment has not been completed. The Commission should have realised that recruitment of doctors involved priority and steps commensurate to the demands of the situation should have been taken. We cannot conceive of a situation where for recruiting doctors, may be about a thousand in number, a three year period is necessary. Until now we had not given any time-bound direction to the Commission believing that the Commission being a constitutional body would realise its own responsibilities and act. We are obliged to direct the public service commission of Bihar to complete the examination in every manner and communicate to the State government the names of the successful candidates by 16/11/1987. No application for alteration, extension or modification of this direction would be entertained. On failure to compliance, such steps as are open have got to follow. (3) THE State government through Mr Goburdhan has assured us that as soon as the results are received, appointments would follow without delay. The appointments will be subject to the condition indicated in the order dated 3/02/1987. (4) IT is represented to us on behalf of the Commission that some clarification sought for from the State government has not been received. Mr Goburdhan is directed to ensure that the clarification is communicated to the Commission within ten days from today. The appointments will be subject to the condition indicated in the order dated 3/02/1987. (4) IT is represented to us on behalf of the Commission that some clarification sought for from the State government has not been received. Mr Goburdhan is directed to ensure that the clarification is communicated to the Commission within ten days from today. COURT Master.
