IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.17628 of 2009 1. VIDYA SAGAR MANDAL S/O JAGARNATH PRASAD MANDAL R/O VILL-JAIKRISHNAPUR, KATAHA, P.S- K. NAGAR, DISTT- PURNIA Versus 1.

THE BLOCK EDUCATION EXTENSION OFFICER, PURNIA 6. THE PANCHAYAT SEWAK, GRAM PANCHAYAT RAJ, JAGNI ( K NAGAR BLOCK) DISTT- PURNIA 7. DISTRICT TEACHERS APPOINTMENT APPELLATE AUTHORITY, PURNIA, THROUGH ITS MEMBER ----------- 02. 06.01.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner, who is stated to be Mukhiya is aggrieved by the order dated 6.8.2009 passed by the District Teachers Appointment Appellate Authority Purnea. While setting aside the appointments of certain teachers, directions have been issued for recovery of the salary paid to them personally from the petitioner Mukhiya. The teachers, who are stated to have been removed by the impugned order, have challenged their removal in separate writ proceeding and which are stated to be pending. 2 In response to the query of the Court, learned counsel for the petitioner found it difficult to answer that the writ petition was mature at this stage. If the challenge laid out by the removed teachers was successful, the question of any liability falling upon the petitioner Mukhiya simply would not arise. The occasion for the petitioner to challenge the directions may arise only in the event of the challenge laid out by teachers concerned being unsuccessful. In any event of the matter, the petitioner has adequate remedy available to him by filing an appropriate Intervention Application in C.W.J.C. No. 14918 of 2009 preferred by the removed teachers and which is stated to be still pending, if so advised. That shall only prevented multiplicity of cases before this Court. Needless to state that any action against the petitioner in the mean time shall necessarily remain subservient to and shall have to abide by the final order passed in C.W.J.C. No. 14918 of 2009. The writ application is disposed with the aforesaid observation. P.K. ( Navin Sinha, J.)
