IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.3637 of 2008 SMT. KUNTI DEVI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3/ 14/05/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner was transferred to the Hindi Prathamik Vidyala, Mohania on 3.6.2008. The Principal was not accepting her joining. The petitioner came to this Court in C.W.J.C. No.13634/08 when it was directed that the matter be examined and appropriate posting be given and salary paid. Show cause has been filed on behalf of O.P.No.3, one Shri Abdul Alahad Khan, District Superintendent of Education, Kaimur. It includes an order passed by him on 19.12.2008 that the petitioner was posted at the Hindi Prathamik Vidyalaya, Mohania as per her option, but due to excess strength of teachers posted there vis-à-vis the lack of requisite facilities the petitioner was asked to join at the Kanya Madhya Vidyala, Mohania one of the three options given by the petitioner herself. The rejoinder to the show cause states that the Principal at the Kanya Madhya Vidyalaya, Mohania was also not allowing the petitioner to join. 2 It is now the responsibility of the District Superintendent of Eduction in view of his own show cause to ensure that the salary is paid to the petitioner and that Government funds are not squandered by payment of salary to the petitioner without taking work from her at the Kanya Madhya Vidyalaya, Mohania. In the event the District Superintendent of Education might be exposing himself to the appropriate action by the appropriate authorities. The contempt application is disposed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
