WP(C) 6838/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE U.B. SAHA The instant writ petition is filed by the petitioners, four in number, w ho are the parents and guardians of some of the girl students studying in Goalpa ra Girls’ High School for directing the State respondents not to allow the respo ndent No.4 to continue as in-charge Headmistress of the aforesaid school as a de partmental proceeding is going on against her on serious allegation of misapprop riation of school fund as well as other acts of corruption. Heard Mr. AD Choudhury, learned counsel for the petitioners. Also heard Mr. MR Pathak, learned Standing Counsel, Education appearing for the State respo ndents and Mr. PK Roy Choudhury, learned counsel appearing for the respondent No .4. In terms of the order of this court dated 19.1.2011 the respondent No.2, Shri Brojendra Nath Talukdar, Director of Secondary Education, Assam appears pe rsonally before this court. The brief fact of the petitioners’ case is that though a departmental pr oceeding is under inquiry against the respondent No.4, the State respondents are allowing her to continue as in-charge Headmistress of Goalpara Girls’ High Scho ol. The petitioners pleaded in the writ petition that their three daughters were studying in the said school and when they approached the respondent No.4 for is suing transfer certificates in favour of their daughters, the respondent No.4 de manded Rs.500/-, 350/- and 350/- for issuing such transfer certificates, which i n excess of the prescribed fees and not only that she also refused to issue any receipt to the petitioner No.2 for the aforesaid fees paid. Thereafter, the peti tioner No.2 lodged a complaint before the respondent No.3 highlighting the afore said anomalies. There are some other allegations against the respondent No.4. It appears from record that while on suspension, the respondent No.4 pre ferred a writ petition before this court being W.P.(C) No.6188 of 2010 and ultim ately this court on 1.12.2010 disposed the aforesaid writ petition at the motion stage setting aside the order of suspension in view of non-approval of the orde r passed by the respondent No.3. When the matter is taken up, the respondent No.2 placed certain records before this court including the inquiry report submitted by the inquiry officer. As the inquiry report is not the subject matter of the instant writ petition, i t would not be proper for this court to make any observation on such inquiry rep ort, but at the same time, it is the duty of the court to see the matter when a person is not wanted either by the school students or by the parents/guardians o f those students. When there are allegations against the respondent No.4 and the petitioners have made a representation against her to the respondent No.2, it i s the duty of the respondent No.2 to look after the same and to give reply to su ch representation. Whether the respondent No.4 really demanded the alleged amoun t from the petitioners is the subject matter of the disciplinary proceeding. The respondent No.2 has assured this court that he will take necessary action in ac cordance with law within two weeks from today on the basis of the allegations ma de by the parents who are the petitioners in this writ petition. In view of the aforesaid statement of the respondent No.2, learned couns el for the petitioners submits that he will not proceed further with the writ pe tition. However, he prays for liberty to approach this court again if the petiti oners are not satisfied with the action of the respondent No.2. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of as not pressed with liber ty to the petitioners to approach this court again, if so advised. However, this court expect that the respondent No.2 will take necessary steps in accordance w ith law so far the allegations of the petitioners made in this writ petition are concerned. As the respondent No.2 is personally present before this court, it i s not necessary to furnish either copy of this order or the copy of the writ pet ition to him. His (respondent No.2) personal appearance is dispensed with.
