Petitioner was appointed on the post of Panchayat teacher on the basis of her qualification of Madhyama Visharad obtained from Hindi Sahitya Sammelan, Allahabad. Subsequently her appointment was cancelled on the ground that the certificate of the petitioner issued from Hindi Sahitya Sammelan relating to Madhyama Visharad treating as equivalent to Intermediate is not being recognized by the State Government. Challenging the order dated 18.10.2007 cancelling the petitioner’s appointment, C.W.J.C. No. 12080 of 2008 was filed and disposed of by - 2 - order dated 9.9.2008 quashing the impugned order of termination and the matter was remitted to the Principal Secretary, Human Resources Development Department, Bihar, Patna to re-examine the matter. The Principal Secretary, respondent no. 2 rejected the claim of the petitioner and similarly situated persons by order dated 27.9.2008 contained in Memo No. 3490, whereby the prayer made for reinstatement on the post of Panchayat teacher was rejected. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the Principal Secretary by impugned order dated 27.9.2008 had rejected petitioner’s as well as other similarly situated persons claim vide Memo No. 3490 and some of the petitioners had challenged the impugned order contained in Memo No. 3490 dated 27.9.2008 by filing C.W.J.C. No. 9758 of 2009 Arti Kumari & others Vs. The State of Bihar & others. The writ application filed by Arti Kumari and others has been allowed by this Court by order dated 28.8.2009 and the impugned order has been quashed. A direction has been issued to the Mukhiya, the Panchayat Secretary as well as other authorities to reinstate petitioner on the post of - 3 - Panchayat teacher and allow them to discharge their duties with all consequential benefits. Considering the fact that the impugned order has already been quashed by this Court in earlier writ petition, prayer of present petitioner to quash the same order contained in Memo No. 3490 dated 27.9.2008 cannot be decided in any other way. Accordingly, the impugned order is quashed. The respondent nos. 7, 8 and 9 are directed to reinstate the petitioner on the post of Panchayat teacher, on which she was earlier working with all consequential benefits, by reinstating her on the post. This writ application is allowed. DKS/ (Mridula Mishra, J.)
