PRINCIPAL SECRETARY, HUMAN RESOURCES DEPTT. BIHAR, PATNA ----------- 2 20/01/2011 Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that both the orders passed by the disciplinary authority as well as the appellate authority suffer from a basic law in the background that the petitioner was only the Drawing and Disbursing Officer and not the Principal of the school in question. Both the authorities have considered him to be the Principal of the School and failure of the Principal to verify the authenticity of the teacher in question has been saddled upon his head, may be by omission or over sight. Let petitioner satisfy the authorities on this count, if he is so advised. Matter is remitted back to the - 2 - appellate authority for reconsideration in this background if the assertion of the petitioner is otherwise correct. This writ application is allowed with the direction aforesaid. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
