Heard Mr. Bhagwat Mehra, Advocate present for the petitioners and Mr. Anil Bisht, learned Brief Holder present for the State of Uttarakhand. 2. The issue involved in this case is as to whether the petitioners were liable to be considered for “Shiksha Mitra”. The contention of the petitioner is that they are the “Shiskha Acharya” and they fulfill all the requirements, which are necessary for appointment as “Shiksha Mitra”. As per Government Order dated 19.11.2010 every “Shiksha Acharya”/“Anudeshak” all over the State of Uttarakhand who fulfill certain requirements are to be considered for “Shiksha Mitra”. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submit that the procedure for making “Shiksha Acharya” to “Shiksha Mitra” is on at district Nainital and though the petitioners are eligible for making “Shiksha Mitra” but their names have not been forwarded by the concerned Block Education Officer. 4. As such, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the District Project Officer, Surva Shiksha Abhiyan, Nainital (respondent no. 3) to consider the 2 names of the petitioners in accordance with law. In case they fulfill all the eligibility criteria for appointment as “Shiksha Mitra”, their names shall be considered, since the delay in forwarding their names has not been due to their fault. 5. Decided accordingly. 5. No order as to costs. (Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.) Dated: 25.11.2011 VKG
