MUFFASIL, DISTT.- BEGUSARAI 10. THE DISTT. TEACHER EMPLOYMENT null APPELLATE TRIMINAL, BEGUSARAI THROUGH MEMBER ----------- 2 3.11.2010 The petitioner was selected as a Panchayat Teacher under 2006 Rules in the year 2006. No complaints were made. In the year 2008 a complaint was made against the petitioner alleging that the petitioner has been selected on basis of forged mark sheets. The tribunal considered the matter and in the last paragraph of its order , inter alia, directed the authority to get the mark sheets of the petitioners verified. To this the petitioner has no grievance. The petitioner’s grievance starts from what is said thereafter. The tribunal has held that so long as verification is not completed , no work shall be taken from the petitioner as if petitioner’s mark sheets are already found to be forged for which neither there is any basis nor justification. Having considered the matter, in my view, the order of the - 2 - tribunal to that extent can not be sustained . The petitioner had been appointed in the year 2006. He has been working for over four years. Now merely on the allegation that the mark sheets of the petitioner, which may be either matriculation or intermediate is forged, petitioner cannot be asked to stop the work even before any prima facie case is made out much less before verification is done. I accordingly set aside that part of the order and direct the respondents to permit the petitioner to carry on teaching and to immediately verify the correctness of the petitioner’s mark sheet both in respect of Matriculation and Intermediate. Bihar School Examination Board would be well advised to quickly response to the query from the concerned respondent with regard to authenticity of the petitioner’s mark sheet. The response must be within fifteen days from the date of query in this regard. The authority would conclude this matter within two months and then would advised to take up any follow up action ,which may be required. The petitioner would be paid the salary for the period he has worked. In the meantime petitioner would continue to get his salary till final decision is taken. With the aforesaid observations and directions, the writ potion is disposed of. Singh (Navaniti Prasad Singh,J)
