Jha, Manikant Mishra S.K.Singh, A.K.Singh & Ashutosh Kumar, Advocates Mr. Gopal Krishna AC to GP-19 Mr. Shambhu Nath AC to AAG-3. ------------- - 4 - 2 19.4.2011 All these writ applications have been heard together and are being disposed of by this common order in view of the fact that all the petitioners belong to the same school and so is the issue raised. There are very interesting facts which has emerged from various pleadings, assertions from a close perusal of these writ applications. The Court intentionally withholds recording all those details for the reasons that the Court does not want to interfere in these writ applications and express any opinion on the merit of the claim of these petitioners, under the circumstance under which the appointments of these petitioners are being claimed as well as the stand taken by the respondents on an enquiry having been carried out with regard to the school in question. Obviously the facts are poles apart and there is no clear evidence about the appointments of these petitioners on the post and their working as such. However the Court does not want to deny an opportunity to these petitioners to place their cases before the District Superintendent of Education, Bhagalpur, if they are so advised. They may move the District Superintendent of Education, with all the supporting evidence who will not only hear the petitioners but even the establishment of the school in question, verify the records and pass an appropriate order with regard to their right or claim which has been raised in these writ applications within a reasonable time frame. - 5 - All the twelve writ applications are disposed of with the above direction.
