Show cause has been filed on behalf of District Superintendent of Education, Purnea. The Panchayat Secretary of Gram Panchayat Raj, Chandi, though has not filed any show cause, but has sent some documents before this Court, which have been kept at Flag ‘Q’. Letter No. 01/11 dated 04.01.2011, indicates that in compliance of the direction of this Court, petitioner, Kumari Pinki, Panchayat Teacher, Primary School, Kamalpur, Purnea has been paid her arrears of salary for the period Patna High Court MJC No.3698 of 2010 (3) dt.29-09-2011 2 / 2 2 November, 2008 to 31st October, 2010. However, she has been terminated from her post in the light of departmental letter No. 1948 dated 20.11.2008 as she has obtained one year B.Ed. degree from Hindi Sahitya Sammelan, Allahabad, which is not a recognized degree. Considering the letter, I find that substantial compliance has been made by the opposite parties. So far termination order is concerned i.e. fresh cause of action and the petitioner has liberty to challenge it. Accordingly, this contempt proceeding is dropped. DKS/ (Mridula Mishra, J)
