WP(C) 5657/2010 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE HRISHIKESH ROY The petitioner who offered her candidature for the post of additional teacher in English on contract basis in terms of the Govt. Notification dated 10.6.2010, h as approached this Court with the allegation that Srilekha Das, who has Major in Education subject has been appointed as an English Teacher in Uttar Barpeta H igh School w.e.f. 15.9.2010. It is submitted by Mr. N. Haque, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner th at in the select list the name of the petitioner was enlisted at serial No. 8 in order of merit and since those in merit position from 1 to 6 have declined the appointment, the petitioner has a reasonable chance to secure the job despite he r 8th position. But strangely the respondent No. 8 with her Education subject was enlisted in the merit list for English Teacher and now she has also been app ointed as an English Teacher in Uttar Barpeta High School. I find from the notification dated 10.6.2010 (Annexure-A) that a Selection Commi ttee with the Deputy Commissioner or his representative as the Chairman is to re commend candidates for appointment as additional teachers on contract basis in c ore subject like English, Mathematics etc. and considering the selection procedu re prescribed under Clause-13, it is apparent that the respondent No. 8, Srilekh a Das has been undeservedly enlisted in the select list for English teachers. Since these are tenure appointment valid only for 11 months, for expeditious red ressal of the petitioner’s grievances, it might be more appropriate to direct th e Deputy Commissioner of Barpeta District who is the Chairman of the Selection C ommittee to examine the grievances raised by the petitioner. Mr. S. Das, learned standing counsel, Education Department and Mr. HK Barman, learned Govt. Advocat e as well as Mr. N. Haque, learned counsel for the petitioner are in agreement t hat the grievances be considered by the Deputy Commissioner, Barpeta. In view of the agreement of the learned counsels, the petitioner is permitted to file a representation before the Deputy Commissioner, Barpeta who is ordered to consider the petitioner’s grievances by affording a hearing to the petitioner a nd respondent No. 8 Srilekha Das. An appropriate decision may thereafter be take n by the Deputy Commissioner within 6 weeks from the date of receipt of a copy o f this Court’s order along with the representation, which are to be furnished by the writ petitioner. A copy of this order be furnished to Mr. H.K. Barman, learned Govt. Advocate and Mr. S. Das, learned standing counsel for communication. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly.
