The Gram Panchayat Sachiv, Ghordauar Gram Panchayat, Banma Itahari, Saharsa. ……………. Respondents ----------- 02. 04.02.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Petitioner was appointed as one of the Shiksha Mitra and directed to work in the Primary School of Barah Pokhariya, in the district of Saharsa vide Office Order No. 38/8 dated 30.4.2003. She joined the post and has worked thereafter. The reason why she has filed the present writ application is because it is alleged that respondent Nos. 6 and 7 i.e. Mukhiya of Ghordaur Gram Panchayat and the Gram Panchayat Sachiv of the said Panchayat, for the reasons best known to them, are not paying salary to the petitioner even though there are certain directions which have been issued by the District Superintendent of Education. Prima facie there seems to be material in favour of the petitioner for payment. The reason why the impediment has been created in payment of salary to the petitioner does not emerge from the writ application. The writ application is disposed of with a direction upon - 2 - the District Superintendent of Education that he shall prevail upon respondent Nos. 6 and 7 to see that payment t of salary is made to the petitioner if there is no impediment in the way of such payment. If the said respondents do not have cogent reason for honouring the direction then the District Magistrate, Saharsa may be informed of the said action of these respondents and appropriate action may be taken against them if so required. Let steps be taken in this regard within three months from the communication of this order. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
