Judgment ( 1. ) THE decision rendered in this petition shall also govern disposal of other connected writ petition being No. 854 of 2003. ( 2. ) THE only grievance of the writ petitioners appears to be that they were called tor an interview for the post of Shiksha Karmi Grade-I and II and for that purpose even call letters were also issued treating these petitioners to be eligible for appearing in the interview. But, thereafter process of interview was not brought to an end and no interview was held till date. One of the submissions, rather main submission of the respondent - State and their authorities is that on account of ban imposed by the Election Commission as also by the Finance Department on the recruitment of fresh employees in various Departments of the State, the process of interview was not allowed to continue and hence the same was not conducted. ( 3. ) HAVING heard the learned Counsel for the parties and having perused the record of the case, this Court is of the considered opinion that the respondents must ensure that any process once initiated, is brought to an end to its logical conclusion either by appointing the persons or not appointing the persons. In other words, it should not be left half way leaving the persons to in a lurch. ( 4. ) THE least that the respondents should have done in such case is to either cancel the whole appointments finding it to be not necessary or should have brought the process of selection to an end, but they ought to have done something rather to keep the matter unattended for an indefinite period. The authorities must be able to take a decision, one way or the other, so that the persons concerned involved in the said process must know what their fate is or what their fate is likely to be. It is not for this Court to decide whether the respondents are still interested in filling of the said posts or not ? It is the prerogative of the authorities who have issued the selection process to decide whether they wish to continue with the selection process or they do not wish to continue. In case, if they decide to continue for filling the post, then process of selection must be carried out expeditiously by calling persons who are found eligible. It is the prerogative of the authorities who have issued the selection process to decide whether they wish to continue with the selection process or they do not wish to continue. In case, if they decide to continue for filling the post, then process of selection must be carried out expeditiously by calling persons who are found eligible. If they decide not to continue with the process of selection for filling the posts, they must do so by informing to the concerned persons of their decision. ( 5. ) IN my opinion, therefore, the aforesaid observations would be sufficient for the respondents to take a decision one way or the other in the matter in question and accordingly the decision to that effect should be taken and duly communicated to the petitioners, so that they may decide their fate one way or the other. Let the decision be taken expeditiousiy by the concerned authorities. ( 6. ) WITH these observations, these petitions are disposed of finally.
