Petitioner has preferred this writ petition in public interest seeking appropriate enquiry and action against respondent nos. 12, 13 and 14 who are alleged to have joined and worked as teachers in different schools of the State of Bihar. According to the petitioner those three respondents were never validly appointed as teachers but they have been allowed to function as such due to connivance of some officials of the department and hence action should be taken against respondent nos. 12, 13 and 14 as well as against the concerned officials who might have been found involved in the matter. Counter affidavit discloses that the appointment of 2 respondent no.12 has been detected to be fake but in respect of respondent nos. 13 and 14, it has been disclosed by the District Superintendent of Education, Banka, respondent no.8, that the enquiry is still going on by the Regional Deputy Director of Education, Bhagalpur. Considering the stand of the State, it is expected that the enquiry shall be concluded expeditiously and preferably within three months and thereafter appropriate action as per law shall be taken without any delay. If it is found that some officials were involved in helping the beneficiaries of fake appointment, it is expected that appropriate action shall be taken against the concerned officials in accordance with law. The concerned authority shall also consider to pass appropriate orders for recovery of the amount in case it is found that fake teacher has been paid without any lawful justification. With these observations, this writ petition is disposed of. No cost. (Shiva Kirti Singh, J) (Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J) shahid
