CWP-T- No. 2902 of 2008. 24.07.2009 Present: Mr. V.D. Khidta, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Sharma, Senior Additional Advocate General with Mr. Rajinder Dogra, Additional Advocate General, for the respondents. The petitioner has obtained B.Ed. degree from Magadh University, Bodhgaya in the year, 1995. He was appointed on contract basis against the post of J.B.T. He was relieved from the duties on 17th April, 1999. Thereafter, he was re-engaged on 27th May, 1999. His contract was further renewed and he was appointed on 19.12.2000. He was not given further extension on contract basis, on the ground that the degree obtained by the petitioner from Magadh University, Bodhgaya was forged. However, no inquiry was held by the department. Mr. V.D. Khidta, learned counsel for the petitioner has strenuously argued that the decision of respondents not to renew the contract of the petitioner was in violation of the principles of natural justice. According to him, he was required to be afforded an opportunity of hearing. Mr. R.K. Sharma, learned Senior Additional Advocate General fairly submits that the respondents shall afford opportunity to the petitioner to project his case before the department. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to the respondents to hold a limited inquiry, to enable the petitioner to prove that the degree awarded by the Magadh University, Bodhgaya is genuine. (Rajiv Sharma), Judge. July 24, 2009. Bhupender
