Shahi, & Patanjali Rishi, Advocates For the State: Mr. Shambhu Nath, AC to AAG 3 2 20.09.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the State. Upon his own showing, petitioner got engagement as Shiksha Mitra only for two terms which expired in 2005. It appears that petitioner did not agitate his claim thereafter within the time frame provided under the Guidelines. Now he raises a grievance that he was wrongly not given extension for third term on account of which he could not become regular 2 Panchayat Teacher under 2006 Rules. This claim of the petitioner is apparently stale and hence, it cannot be considered by this Court at this stage. Learned counsel for the petitioner alternatively submits that at least the respondents may be directed to pay arrears of honorarium of petitioner of the period he actually had worked as Shiksha Mitra. The writ application is, accordingly, disposed of with a direction to the respondents to get an enquiry held from the concerned school with regard to actual working of petitioner as Shiksha Mitra during those terms and honorarium due to him. If they find that honorarium is due to the petitioner, they shall pass appropriate orders for payment of his honorarium preferably within two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
