WP(C) 2927/2009 BEFORE THE HON BLE MR. JUSTICE HRISHIKESH ROY The petitioners were appointed as teachers in Nalbari district and are before th is Court seeking direction for payment of their salaries, which remained unpaid right since the time of their appointment i.e. from March/April, 2001. But it is pointed out by Mr. M.R. Pathak, learned standing counsel, Education an d Mr. R. Sinha, learned standing counsel, BTC that the petitioners are beneficia ries of mass illegal appointment orders, issued by one G.L.N. Haloi, the then De puty Inspector of Schools, Nalbari and claim of salary of similarly appointed t eachers was rejected by this court on 21.11.2008 in WP(C) No.4560/2008 (Pabitra Barman & Ors vs. State of Assam & Ors) and several other cases, including WP(C) No.5541/2010 (Pratap Kalita & Ors vs. State of Assam & Ors). This court recorded in Pabitra Barman (Supra) that during enquiry on the illegal appointments in Nalbari district, it was difficult to segregate the genuine fro m non genuine appointees as excess appointments to 4510 persons were given again st the sanctioned 266 posts and accordingly the prayer for salary was rejected b y the court. Considering the earlier orders of this Court and after hearing Mr. B. Kumar, lea rned counsel for the petitioner and the departmental counsels, I find no merit i n this case and the same is dismissed.
