IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3842 of 2009 PINKI KUMARI . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 2. 08.02.2010 Heard the counsel for the petitioner and the counsel appearing for the state. Petitioner has prayed for quashing of the order contained in letter dated 15.11.2008 issued by the Block Development Officer, Simri Bakhtiarpur, Saharsa whereby his appointment has been cancelled for the reasons that he was appointed considering her qualification of intermediate in vocational course and that cannot be treated as equivalent to intermediate regular course. Petitioner has annexed the order contained in Memo No. 3335 dated 09.09.2008 issued under the signature of Joint Secretary, Human Resources Development, Govt. of Bihar whereby all District Magistrates, Deputy Development Commissioners, District Superintendent of Educations as well as other concerned persons have been informed that in the light of the judgment and order passed in C.W.J.C. No. 4878 of 2007 and L.P.A. No. 469/08, the government after due consideration, has taken a decision that the candidates appointed as Panchayat Teachers/Prakhand Teachers/Nagar Teachers, considering their qualification of equivalent course of intermediate and in vocational course, will be treated as validly appointed. Petitioner’s grievance is that despite the issue already been settled, and the state 2 government having taken a decision in this regard, she was illegally terminated from her service by the Block Development Officer, Simri Bakhtiarpur. The respondent No. 2 has not even recalled his order in the light of the government’s order contained in Memo No. 3335 dated 09.09.2008. Since the issue is already settled, and the government has also taken due decision in this regard, the order terminating the appointment of the petitioner contained in letter dated 15.11.2008 issued by the Block Development Officer, Simri Bakhtiarpur is fit to be quashed. It is, accordingly, quashed. This writ application is allowed directing the respondents- Panchayat Secretary and Mukhiya of Gram Panchayat Raj, Chakbharo, Simri Bakhtiarpur, Saharsa and Block Development Officer, Simri Bakhtiarpur to reinstate the petitioner on her post with all consequential benefits. She should be allowed to join her duties as Panchayat Teacher in the respective school where she was earlier posted and working. AKV/ (Mridula Mishra, J.)
