IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6209 of 2009 RANDHIR PRASAD SINGH & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 18.05.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. The petitioners were appointed as Panchayat teacher. Their services were then terminated. They came to this Court in writ petitions, details whereof are mentioned in paragraph 19 of the writ application. While the writ petition was pending, the State government constituted an Appellate Authority. They questioned their termination before the Appellate Authority, which by a reasoned order dated 28.2.2009 at Annexure-8 set aside their termination. Thereafter has followed the impugned order dated 28.4.2009 at Annexure-1. By the same, the same Appellate Authority has upset its order dated 28.2.2009. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the impugned order dated 28.4.2009 is in violation of the principles of natural justice as explicitly stated in paragraph 30 of the pleadings. The next submission is that the Appellate Authority has no power to review his own order. Learned counsel for the State finds it difficult to support the impugned order dated 28.4.2009 on both counts, lack of power of review and that the order is non-speaking in nature. In that view of the matter, the impugned order dated 28.4.2009 is clearly not sustainable in its present form. It is, 2 accordingly, set aside. The order dated 28.2.2009 in favour of the petitioners stands revived. The earlier writ applications on behalf of the petitioners, as mentioned in paragraph 19 of the writ application, as acknowledged on behalf of the petitioners by the learned counsel, have become infructuous. The matter is remanded to the Appellate Authority, when it is required to decide objections of the petitioners in accordance with law after hearing the concerned affected parties. The writ application stands disposed. AKS/ (Navin Sinha, J.)
