For the petitioners: Mr. Arvind Kumar Sharma, advocate For the State : Mr. Assistant Counsel to S.C. No. 13 ----------- 2. 11.02.2009 Heard the counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioners’ case is that they were appointed on the post of Panchayat teachers on 15.01.2007. Their appointment was made after observing the procedure provided under the Rules. But after remaining in service for six months, they have been removed from service by the order of Block Development Officer, Raxaul vide order contained in Memo No. 1990 dated 28.12.2006. From the order, it transpires that some complaints were made regarding the appointment of the petitioners. An inquiry was conducted and finally, termination order was issued vide order contained in Annexure-1. - 2 - Counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners possess Moulvi Degree and they were appointed against the post of teachers in general category. Though, in the termination order, no reason has been assigned for their termination, but from the annexures, it transpires that any person having Moulvi degree cannot be appointed against the post of Assistant teachers in general category. His qualification of Moulvi degree can be treated as requisite qualification only for appointment on Urdu teachers’ post. Considering the fact that the order has been passed by the competent authority after holding inquiry, I do not find any reason to interfere in this matter. This application is dismissed. However, if petitioners still want to represent their case before the competent authority, they are free to do so. AKV/ (Mridula Mishra,J.)
