IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3711 of 2008 KUMARI RENU Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3/ 25/03/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. It is the case of the petitioner that she was appointed as a Siksha Mitra on 13.5.2005. In accordance with the circulars regulating the same issued in 2004 this appointment was contractual for 11 months amenable to two renewals for 11 months each provided the performance was found satisfactory. Insofar as the claim of the petitioner for denial of any honorarium for the period 13.5.2005 to 13.4.2006 is concerned, if the petitioner has not been paid and she has worked during the period, she is certainly entitled to the honorarium with regard to the said period. Insofar as the claim for honorarium thereafter or for regular salary as Panchayat Sikshak after 1.7.2006, promulgation of the Bihar Primary Teachers (Appointment and Service Conditions) Rules, 2006 is concerned, this Court finds that the essential facts are lacking in the writ application to enable this Court to adjudicate the matter. After the initial contract of 11 months expired, only in the event of renewal of the same in accordance with 2 law can the question of continuance as a Siksha Mitra arise. On the continuance on the post of Siksha Mitra arises a claim for acquisition of the status as a Panchayat Sikshak on 1.7.2006. This Court has already held that factual details are lacking in the writ application to enable this Court to decide the controversy. The writ application is allowed to the extent that the claim for honorarium for the period 13.5.2005 to 13.4.2006 is concerned, in accordance with the directions contained hereinabove. Insofar as the claims thereafter are concerned, if the petitioner files a representation before the competent authority with regard to her claim for continuance after 13.4.2006, the authorities shall be required to consider her claim for honorarium/salary in accordance with law in light of the discussion contained hereinabove within a maximum period of eight weeks from the date of receipt/production of such a representation and which shall also be the time period applicable for payment of the legitimate dues for the period 13.5.2005 to 13.4.2006. The application is disposed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
