WP(C) 48/2009 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE HRISHIKESH ROY Heard Ms. B. Bhuyan, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Mr. M.R. Pat hak, learned standing counsel for the Education Deptt. The petitioner herein was appointed as a teacher in Rongpuria L.P. School (now a t Gareki L.P. School) by the Deputy Inspector of Schools, North Lakhimpur and ha s approached this Court with a grievance of non-payment of her salary from March , 2007. It further appears from the communication dated 6.12.07 of the Deputy Director o f Schools, North Lakhimpur that the petitioner was appointed against a non exist ent post and that her name was not found in the select list published in 1993 by the then Sub-Divisional level Advisory Board, North Lakhimpur. However, the petitioner challenges the facts stated in the aforesaid communicati on dated 6.12.07 and contends that her appointment was regular. Mr. M.R. Pathak, learned standing counsel for the Education Department submits t hat this could be a case of unauthorized appointment, as the appointments at tha t time could be made only for the posts under the Operation Black Board Scheme, whereas the petitioner has not been appointed against such post under the Operat ion Black Board Scheme. The learned counsel further submits that a Committee constituted by the governme nt in pursuant to the direction given by this Court in the case of Sudhendu Moha n Talukdar vs. State of Assam reported in 2006 (2) GLT 216 for examining such c laims of non-payment of salary and the case of the present petitioner may also b e referred for consideration by the said Committee.
