THE STATE OF BIHAR. 2. THE REGIONAL DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION, KOSHI DIVISION, SAHARSA, DISTRICT-SAHARSA. 3. THE DISTRICT EDUCATION OFFICER, MADHEPURA. 4. THE HEAD MASTER, MAHABIR RANIPATTI HIGH SCHOOL, TIKULIA BISHANPUR (SUNDER), DISTRICT-MADHEPURA. …………………RESPONDENTS. ----------- 3 07.09.2009 Pursuant to the order dated 10.08.2009, the Regional Deputy Director has filed counter affidavit. It is stated in the counter affidavit that since the petitioner has not produced original certificate and appointment letter in the school his joining could not be accepted. It is also stated that if the petitioner submits the same even now to any authority including the learned State counsel his joining in the school may be accepted. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner submitted his original certificates and appointment letter in the school for verification which was not returned to him. Some vague pleading in this respect has been made in the writ application which shows that the petitioner does not have the original certificate and his original appointment letter with him. However, without going into that controversy it is required to be noticed that two - 2 - documents on record are available in this connection, i.e. one memo no. 420 dated 2.5.1995 issued from the office of District Education Officer, Madhepura, as contained in Annexure-3 appointing the petitioner on the post of Peon in the school concerned and office order of the office of Regional Deputy Director of Education, Koshi Division, Saharsa contained in memo no. 1103 (A) Saharsa, dated 28.06.2007, as contained in Annexure-4, by which the appointment of the petitioner on the post of Peon was allegedly approved. In the circumstances, without insisting for original documents from the petitioner respondents are directed to make an enquiry with regard to authenticity of these two documents from the concerned offices of the respondents and if it is found that these two documents are genuine and are supported by the records available in the respective offices, the respondents shall accepted the same as valid proof of appointment of the petitioner. So far as educational qualification of petitioner is concerned, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he will produce photocopy of matriculation certificate before the learned - 3 - State counsel duly supported with an affidavit by tomorrow. On receipt of photocopy of matriculation certificate, the respondents will be at liberty to get it verified from the Bihar School Examination Board with regard to its authenticity and if the said certificate is also found to be genuine then that shall also be accepted as valid proof of educational qualification of the petitioner. Upon being satisfied with regard to genuineness of these documents, the respondents shall accept the joining of the petitioner immediately. All the exercise must be completed and necessary orders must be passed by the respondents within two months from the date of production of photocopy of matriculation certificate by the petitioner with supporting affidavit. In case the respondents doubt the genuineness of any of the documents they will communicate the same to the petitioner with supporting reasons for the same within that very period. With above observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of. Arvind/ (J. N. Singh, J.)
