Matloob, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. N.P. Sah, Standing Counsel for the State. Dated:-08-09-2010 Hon’ble B.S.Verma, J. Heard learned counsel for the parties. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought writ in the nature of mandamus directing respondent No. 2 to decide the statutory representation/appeal dated 08.04.2010, filed under Section 36(10) of Uttaranchal Education Act, 2006. I have perused Section 36(10) of Uttaranchal Education Act, 2006. Section 36(1) of the Act is reproduced as under:- “(10) Where the State Government, in case of the appointment of Head of Institution, and the Director in the case of appointment of teacher of an institution, is satisfied that any person has been appointed as Head of Institution or teacher, as the case may be in contravention of the provisions of this Act, the State Government or, as the case may be, the Director shall, after affording an opportunity of being heard to such person, cancel such appointment and pass such consequential order as may be necessary.” The petitioner made a representation to respondent No. 2, stating that appointments have been made against the provision of Government order. The petitioner himself sought information under Right to Information Act from respondent No. 2. In reply thereto, the petitioner was informed that enquiry was conducted through Additional Director, Education, Pauri Garhwal. As per provision of Section 36(10) of the Act, opportunity of hearing should have been given to those teachers, who have been appointed. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, this Court is of the view that no time bound direction can be given in the case in hand. Therefore, writ petition is disposed of directing respondent authority shall expedite the proceedings initiated on the basis of representation made by the petitioner as early as possible.
