Judgment 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the Intervenor and also learned counsel for the State. 2. The petitioner seeks direction upon the respondents to allow him to discharge his duties as Chowkidar of Beat No. 1 of Piparasi Police Station in the District of West Champaran. 3. According to the case of the petitioner, he was allowed to work as Chowkidar after the death of his father on 25.9.1982. The petitioner thereafter continued to work as Chowkidar till January, 1990. The petitioner thereafter made request before the authorities, but the same was never considered. 4. According to the case of the State and the intervenor, the petitioner worked up to 1986 as Awazi Chowkidar and thereafter he nominated one Shankar Paswan to work as a Chowkidar. The statement of this petitioner was recorded in the Police Station, and accordingly, Shankar Paswan was allowed to work as village Chowkidar. It is the further case of the State that when the petitioner was not allowed to work after nominating Shankar Paswan, he filed Chowkidari Case No. 115MC/90, where Shankar Paswan was made party. The Sub-divisional Officer, however, rejected the claim of the petitioner vide order, as contained in annexure E to the counter affidavit dated 30.7.1990. 5. The petitioner, as it appears from the writ petition, nowhere mentions that he nominated Shankar Paswan to work as Chowkidar in his place and he has filed his case to continue as Chowkidar before the Sub-divisional Officer, as referred to above. The petitioner, thus, has suppressed the material fact and even when he had raised the grievance against Shankar Paswan before the Sub-divisional Officer, he did not make him a party in this writ application. 6. The claim of the petitioner, in this view of the matter, is liable to be rejected. 7. For the reasons aforementioned, therefore, I do not any merit in this application. 8. It is, accordingly, dismissed.
