IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.2628 of 2007 1. VINAY KUMAR VINAY 2. Mithilesh Kumar, Both sons of late Hardeo Prasad resident of village- Juafar, P.S.- Bhagwanpur Hat, District- Siwan 3. Shashi Sinha daughter of Lallan Sinha wife of Binod Sinha resident of village- Juafar P.S.- Bhagwanpur Hat, District- Siwan -------- Petitioners Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. Sri Santosh Kumar Mali, District Magistrate, Siwan 3. Sri Vinay Kumar, District Superintendent of Education, District- Siwan. --------- Opposite Parties. ----------- 3 20.10.2008 The petitioners have alleged that the order passed by this Court for considering the representation of some 23 odd petitioners regarding the anomalies committed in the appointment of Shiksha Mitra in the Disrtrict of Siwan should be considered by the District Magistrate, Siwan. As per the direction of this court, the petitioners three in number filed a representation before the District Magistrate firstly on 20.6.2007 and thereafter it appears that a representation was also filed on 28.2.2008. In the later representation the petitioners have alleged that several persons who have obtained forged qualifications have been appointed as Shiksha Mitra. The petitioners also filed a representation before the Commissioner, Saran Division which was considered by the Commissioner and it appears 2 from annexure-7 to the second supplementary affidavit, that the Commissioner has found that some of the appointments were not correct, inasmuch as they were obtained on the basis of forged documents. It has been stated by the Commissioner that steps should be taken to remove such persons. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the order of the District Magistrate, Siwan, is not in accordance with the spirit of the order of this Court and specially in view of the fact that some of the persons appointed on the post of Shiksha Mitra had obtained appointment on the basis of forged documents. All these aspects can be considered and challenged by the petitioners by assailing the order passed by the District Magistrate, Siwan in an appropriate procedure. As far as the allegation that the District Magistrate, Siwan is in the contempt of the order of this Court, I do not find any merit in this submission. On the other hand, this Court feels that it is a matter of serious concern that persons who have been appointed as Shiksha 3 Mitra and are now working as Panchayat Shikshak, do not possess the required qualifications. It is therefore, directed that the District Magistrate, Siwan should pursue the report of the Commissioner and take suitable action against such persons after giving them an opportunity of being heard. This contempt application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations and directions. Sanjay (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
