Sri Sambhu Prasad Yadav, son of Sri Prahalad Yadav, Headmaster of Rajkiya Uttkramit Madhya Vidyalaya, Marihiya, Block Lauria, District West Champaran` … Respondents ----------- 2. 30.6.2011 Having heard learned counsel for the parties as with regard to limited relief prayed in this writ application concerning payment of honorarium of the petitioner for the period 25.5.2005 to 29.7.2005 this Court is of the considered opinion that since the respondents themselves have admitted working of the petitioner in the aforementioned period, the petitioner would be definitely 2 entitled to receive the amount of honorarium for the aforementioned period. The submission of the learned counsel for the State that the petitioner’s engagement as Shiksha Mitra on 25.5.2005 was made in an illegal manner because roaster point for the post of Shiksha Mitra against which the petitioner was engaged was meant for Backward Class and the petitioner belongs to Most Backward category could be a good defence for terminating the services of the petitioner but then if the respondents had allowed the petitioner to join on 25.5.2005 and had taken work in the interregnum period before terminating his service on 29.7.2005 on the ground of illegality in his appointment, that would not in any way come in the way of the petitioner in getting the admitted amount of honorarium for the period of his working. In that view of the matter, the competent authority after making verification of actual working of the petitioner in the period 25.5.2005 to 29.7.2005 shall make payment of admissible amount of honorarium to the petitioner 3 within a period of three months from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order. Let it be made clear that this Court has not gone into the other aspect as with regard to alleged illegality or otherwise in the engagement of the petitioner on the post of Shiksha Mitra. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
