Heard Mr. Vijay Kumar Verma for the respondents. This writ petition has been preferred for a direction to set aside the office order nos. 135 and 136, both of 14.3.1995 (Annexure- 6 series), issued by respondent no.7, whereby recovery of the excess salary paid to the petitioner has been directed to be refunded to the Bihar State Electricity Board, because the petitioner had not passed the Hindi Noting and Drafting Examination. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of the learned counsel for the respondent. It appears to us that the writ petition was directed to be heard along with C.W.J.C. No. 1007 of 1997 and C.W.J.C. No. 4576 of 1997. However, both the writ petitions have already been disposed of by a 2 Division Bench by judgment dated 19.5.1998, whereby the writ petitions have been allowed, and identical orders have been set aside. In that view of the matter, the present writ petition is allowed and the impugned orders dated 14.3.1995 (Annexure-6 series), are hereby set aside. The present writ petition is disposed of in the same terms as the aforesaid judgment dated 19.5.1998 ,of the Division Bench. The writ petition is accordingly allowed. (S.K.
