WP(C) 1140/2009 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE T. VAIPHEI Heard Mr. D.K. Sharma, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Mr. S.K. D as, learned Standing Counsel for the Education Department. This is an unfortunate case. The husband of the petitioner was kidnapped and killed by the extremist on 3.9.2000 when secret killings Gupta Hatya was the practice. On the death of her husband, the petitioner came to face serious m ental and financial problem and was running from pillar to post for her employme nt under Rule V of the provision of Assam Public Service (Appointment of family members of persons killed by Extremist/Terrorist) Rules. 1992. She was thereafte r appointed as Assistant Teacher and posted at 721 No. Kairara Balika L.P. Schoo l on 12.3.2001 by the Deputy Inspector of Schools, Nalbari as a special case. Sh e joined her duties but did not receive her monthly salaries even after approach ing this Court in WP(C) No. 4363/2008. In the course of hearing of that writ pet ition, the learned Standing Counsel for the Education Department, on instruction , had informed this Court that the service of the petitioner has been terminated along with a batch of illegal appointment of teachers issued by the then contro versial Deputy Inspector of Schools during the year 2001. The petition was subse quently withdrawn by the petitioner with a liberty to file a fresh case. When he r termination was not revoked by the respondent authorities, the petitioner is o nce again filing this writ petition for appropriate relief. The learned Standing Counsel in the course of hearing has placed before me the letter dated 10.7.2009 of the Director, Elementary Education, Assam addre ssed to the Commissioner and Secretary to the Government of Assam, Education (El e.) Department. On going through the said letter, it is clear that the Director of Elementary Education has admitted that the termination order in respect of th e petitioner was an unfortunate case and her case should not have been treated l ike those of illegal appointees, who has been rightly shown the door. The Direc tor of Elementary Education therein requested the Government to consider the cas e of the petitioner sympathetically after observing due procedures. In my opinio n, in the light of the step taken by the Director of Elementary Education, there is no reason why the case of the petitioner cannot be considered favourably by the State respondents. In the result, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction that t he respondent No. 1 and 3 shall consider the case of the petitioner for appointm ent to her previous post or any other post commensurate with her qualification i n accordance with law. The entire exercise shall be completed by these responden ts within a period of 2 (two) months from the date of receipt certified copy of this order. The letter dated 10th July, 2009 is hereby made a part of the case r ecord. The writ petition stands disposed of. No costs.
