THE BLOCK DEVELOPMENT OFFICER HILSA, DISTT.- NALANDA AT BIHARSHARIF 10. THE CHAIRMAN DISTRICT EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNAL, DISTT.- NALANDA AT BIHARSHARIF ----------- 02. 02.12.2010 Petitioner was appointed as a Shiksha Mitra way back on 26.3.2004. He has worked on that post but is not being paid his salary or remuneration as the case may be. He has raised grievance against the authorities before high-ups and the matter, it seems, was inquired into by the District Superintendent of Education and reports submitted vide letter no.1135 dated 7.8.2008 and letter no.910 dated 11.6.2008. The two reports have been brought on record by the petitioner and have relevance to the issues raised by him. The reports do talk in terms of the claim of the petitioner being justified and the District Superintendent of Education has addressed one report to the Deputy Development Commissioner, Nalanda and the other to the District Magistrate, Nalanda. 2 Findings being what they are, prima facie, the claim of the petitioner seems to be genuine. But since no follow up action has been taken by the District Magistrate despite the report having been submitted way back in the year 2008, the present writ application has been filed. The dispute being such and the material being what they are on record, the Court is of the opinion that this matter can be sorted out at the local level provided the District Magistrate takes a decision and issue necessary order for the follow up action based on the two reports submitted by the District Superintendent of Education. In this regard the Court directs the District Magistrate to pass appropriate order based on the reports contained in Annexure-8 and 9 within a period of three months from the date of communication/production of a copy of this order. The writ application is disposed of with above direction. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
