CLMA No. 11795/11 (Misc. Application) & IA No. 4744/11 (Urgency Application) IN WPSS no. 1542/2011 Hon’ble V.K. Bist, J. Mr. Bhagwat Mehra, Advocate for the applicant/petitioners. Mr. Anil K. Bisht, Brief Holder for the State. Learned counsel for the parties prayed that the petition may be heard and decided today itself. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. The issue involved in this case is as to whether the petitioners were liable to be considered for Shiksha Mitra. The contention of the petitioners is that they are the Shiksha Acharya and they fulfill all the requirements, which are necessary for appointment as Shiksha Mitra. As per Government Order dated 19.11.2010, all Shiksha Acharya/Anudeshak all over the State of Uttarakhand, who fulfill certain requirements, are to be considered for Shiksha Mitra. Learned counsel for the petitioners submit that the procedure for making Shiksha Acharya to Shiksha Mitra is on at district Nainital and though the petitioners are eligible for making Shiksha Mitra but their names have not been forwarded by the concerned Block Education Officer. As such, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the District Project Officer, Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Nainital (respondent no.3) to consider the names of the petitioners in accordance with law. In case, they fulfill all the eligibility criteria for appointment as Shiksha Mitra, their names shall be considered, since the delay in forwarding their names has not been due to their fault. No order as to costs. Both the applications (CLMA No. 11795/11 Misc. Application & IA No. 4744/11 Urgency Application) stand disposed of. (V.K. Bist, J.) 27.12.2011 NCM:
