IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8150 of 2001 Prabha Kant Jha, son of Sri Sobha Kant Jha, village Sukhashan Chakla, PS Madhepura, Dist. Madhepura, at present Assistant teacher, Phooldai Kanya Vidyalaya, Bangaon, PS Bangaon, Dist. Saharsa – Petitioner. Vs. 1) The State of Bihar through the Secretary, Secondary Education Department, Patna. 2) The director, Secondary Education, Bihar Madhyamik Shiksha Office, Budh Marg, Patna. 3) The Regional Dy. Director of Education, Kosi Division, Saharsa. 4) The Dist. Education Officer, Saharsa. 5) The Head Master, Phooldai Kanya Uchchya Vidyalaya, Bangaon, Dist. Saharsa – Respondents. 5 29.11.2010 Initially the petitioner had filed this writ petition challenging the order, dated 15.6.2001 by which his salary had been stopped by the Director, Secondary Education, Bihar, Patna. Stay was granted in the writ petition and subsequently the petitioner was paid the salary which appears from Annexures 11 and 12. After payment of salary I.A. No. 5915 of 2008 was filed challenging Annexure 24 by which the service of the petitioner has been terminated on the ground that his appointment letter is forged and fabricated. It is said that no such letter numbered as 348, dated 20.6.2001 was ever issued by the department confirming the services of the petitioner by the Special Board after taking over of the school. The petitioner, on the other hand, submits that his name finds place in Annexure 1 and in the enquiry made by the Special Board. The fact remain that the petitioner’s services were terminated on the ground that he has used forged and fabricated 2 letter of appointment to make his claim for salary etc. The issue register shows that no such letter was ever issued from the department to indicate that the petitioner was duly absorbed after taking over of Sri Durga High School, Golma, Saharsa. The main grievance of the petitioner is that the enquiry was held behind his back and as such he did not get an opportunity to present his documents before the concerned authorities. I accordingly direct that the petitioner should produce a copy of this order along with all the documents which he wishes to rely on, before the Director, Secondary Education, Bihar, Patna. The Director should call for a report from the District Education Officer, Saharsa and a report from the Headmaster of Sri Durga High school, Golma as well as Phooldai High School, Bangaon, District Saharsa. The respondent District Education Officer and the Headmasters of the two schools are directed to send the report within two weeks on receipt of letter of the Director, Secondary Education. The Director, Secondary Education will then pass appropriate orders after perusing all the documents and hearing the petitioner within four months thereafter. This writ petition stands disposed of with the aforesaid observation and direction. haque ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
