KANCHAN KUMARI D/O SRI RAJ NARAYAN RAI,W/O SRI CHANDRA KANT PANDEY R/O VILL.-RAMOPATTI,P.O. & P.S.- SIMRI,DIST.-BUXAR. ----------- 02. 06.04.2011 Petitioner is the headmaster of the school who has challenged the decision rendered by the appellate authority, namely, Special Director, Primary Education(Sanskrit), Government of Bihar. The issue is in relation to appointment of a teacher in the school concerned of one Smt. Kanchan Kumari. Since her joining was not being taken despite appointment and selection matter travelled to the High Court and thereafter the issue was relegated to the Special Director for hearing the parties and recording his opinion. Special Director has heard one and all and has come to a conclusion that due procedure was followed because advertisement was issued, interview was held and thereafter 2 appointment made. This appointment in favour of Kanchan Kumari was also approved by the Sanskrit Shiksha Board but despite the above facts the present Principal is not willing to allow her to join on one pretext or the other making a story that signature of the petitioner is forged. The Court fails to understand as to how the Principal of the school becomes an interested party and has a personal lis against the appointment of a teacher. Appointment has been made by the Managing Committee and duly ratified by the Sanskrit Shiksha Board. If the petitioner has a personal agenda, that cannot be allowed to be pursued by way of present writ application. The writ application is dismissed with a clear direction to the petitioner that since Kanchan Kumari has been allowed to join the school after passing of the order by the Special Director, the petitioner will not create any impediment in performance of her duty. If any complaint is made a suitable action will be taken against the petitioner including his removal from the post of Principal. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
