matter and submitted report indicating the fault in the selection of the petitioner that necessary seven days time was not provided in inviting the application.

¶26

Learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn attention of this court to Annexure-2 at page 21, it appears that District Programme Officer(Literacy), Muzaffarpur has issued guideline for selection of Talim Markaz. For constitution of selection committee and inviting application 1.12.2014 was fixed and the last dated for submission of application was 4.12.2014 which was strictly followed by the selection unit notwithstanding adhering to the guideline issued by the District Programme Officer (Literacy), Muzaffarpur, the petitioner was dismissed on the ground that seven days time was not followed in the matter of inviting the application and as such they have found the appointment of the petitioner illegal and condemned the petitioner on that basis.

¶27

Considering the guideline issued by the District Programme Officer, Muzaffarpur the Court is of the view that the selection of the petitioner cannot be faulted on the ground that seven days time was not followed in the process of inviting application. The decision to dismiss the petitioner on the ground of aforesaid infirmity cannot sustain as it is contrary to
