WP(C) 4192/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE B. K. SHARMA Heard Mr. M.U. Mandol, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mr. J. Ahmed, learned counsel representing the respondents. I have also heard Mr. D . A. Kaiyum, learned counsel representing respondents No. 4 & 5. Mr. N. Rajkhowa , learned Standing Counsel, Education, has also been heard. The matter pertains to financial assistance. While it is the case of the petitioner that she being a teacher of Kalipara Janapriya ME Madrassa in the Di strict of Dhubri, she is entitled to receive her share of financial assistance. According to the petitioner, she was appointed as Additional Teacher on 15.6.200 8. Referring to the Utilization Certificate (Annexure-4), the petitioner has sta ted that though in the Utilisation Certificate, her name is indicated at Sl; No. 6, but in fact, she has not been paid any amount. Mr. J. Ahmed, learned counsel representing the respondent No.6 submits t hat the petitioner being an additional teacher is not entitled to receive any sa lary and that the respondent No.6 having been appointed against a regular Scienc e Graduate Teacher, who resigned from his service, is better entitled to receive the financial assistance. Mr. M.U. Mandol, learned counsel for the petitioner on the other hand su bmits that the respondent No.6 having been appointed only on 10.01.2010, cannot score a mark over the petitioner, who was appointed on 15.6.08. Both the parties have referred to the particular guidelines in respect of disbursement of financ ial assistance and the entitlement thereof. From the fact stated above, what has transpired is that the writ petitio n involved disputed question of fact and it will be appropriate for the competen t authority to resolve the dispute by taking into account all the relevant facts including the guidelines holding the field.
