IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6139 of 2009 JAG LAL YADAV Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 15.05.2009 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner, learned Counsel for the State and the learned Counsel for the Bihar School Examination Board. The submission is that the petitioner is named Jag Lal Yadav, son of Moti Yadav. The Bihar School Examination Board while issuing his mark sheet and certificate for attending Government Primary Teachers Training College, Sherghati, Gaya during the session 1981-83 changed his name as Jagat Lal Yadav, son of Moti Yadav. The same Board while issuing matriculation certificate had correctly described his name as Jag Lal Yadav son of Moti Yadav. In view of the aforesaid controversy and termination of his services as Assistant Teacher on 27.3.2004 for that reason, the petitioner approached the Bihar School Examination Board for correction of his name on 24.7.2005 and the Board has corrected the errors in the training course certificate issued by it with regard to the name of the petitioner to now read as Jag Lal Yadav appended at Annexures 14 and 15 to the writ application. The petitioner has preferred an appeal against termination and which is pending before the Director, Primary Education. Learned Counsel for the State submits that if an appeal is pending direction may be issued for expeditious disposal of the same. Counsel for the Board submits that if, the Board has issued any fresh certificate with correction of name he has nothing to add at the moment. The nature of the controversy, created by the Board does not appear to be new. Repeated writ applications keep coming to this Court of such errors created by the Board. If the State authorities suspect a document issued by another authority and that another authority subsequently corrects its own documents and issues a corrected certificate, it is difficult to appreciate what remains for consideration thereafter. In any view of the matter, in all fairness, issues like an earlier certificate given to the petitioner by the Bihar School Examination Board with his name as Jag Lal Yadav, subsequent corrections of the training certificate in so far as the name is concerned, read in conjunction with description and duration of the course, parentage, the address, the subjects, the marks etc. are all sufficient for any reasonable and prudent person to take a decision in accordance with law if the person is the same or not. The action of the respondents in keeping the appeal pending and making enquiry are therefore only symptomatic of harassment to which they are subjecting the petitioner. The appeal of the petitioner is required to be decided by the respondent no. 3 by a reasoned and speaking order within a maximum period of eight weeks from the date of receipt and/or presentation of a copy of this order, in light of the aforesaid observations. The writ application stands disposed. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
