Bikramganj, District Rohtas (Sasaram) … Respondents ---------------------------------- 3. 28.11.2011 Mr. Tej Bahadur Singh, learned Senior counsel for the petitioner, at the out set has pointed out that during the pendency of this writ application another writ petition filed by Manju Singh & ors. involving same question of appointment on the post of Nagar Shikshak in High Schools has been disposed of by an order dated 6.9.2011 wherein the District Teachers Appellate Authority, Rohtas at Sasaram has been directed to consider their cases. It has also been pointed out that since the petitioner was a respondent in the case of Manju Singh (supra) his case has also to be considered by the authority. Considering the subsequent events including the order of this Court dated 6.9.2011 in the case of Manju Singh (supra) this Court would direct the District Teachers Appellate 2 Authority to consider the grievance of the petitioner who also was appointed and was continuing in service in a compact manner while considering the cases of others with regard to their appointment on the post of Nagar Shikshak in the High Schools. At this stage Mr. Singh also points out that the petitioner has not been paid his salary for the admitted period he had worked. Keeping in view that in the case of Manju Singh (supra) an order has been passed for making payment of salary for the admitted period of working this Court would also direct the competent authority to examine the said grievance of the petitioner and if it is found that the petitioner had discharged his duty in the relevant period his salary, if not already paid, should be paid within a period of three months from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order. It is, however, made clear that by mere payment of salary of the petitioner it will not be presumed that the petitioner’s appointment was valid and justified, an issue which has to be gone into by the District Teachers Appellate Authority. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
