IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARANCHAL AT NAINITAL. Writ Petition No. 648 (S/S) of 2006 Km. Sudha Arya, D/o late Sri Bachi Ram, R/o Village – Kankhura, P.O. – Mandoli, Block – Dewal, District – Chamoli. ………Petitioner V e r s u s 1. State of Uttaranchal through Secretary (Basic) Education, Dehradun. 2. Block Education Officer, Block – Deval, Tehsil – Tharali, District – Chamoli. ………Respondents Hon’ble M.M. Ghildiyal, J. Heard Sri Dinesh Gahatori, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned standing counsel for State of Uttaranchal on behalf of respondents. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has prayed for following reliefs: (a) to issue a writ, order, rule or direction in the nature of Mandamus directing the respondent no. 2 to appoint the petitioner on the post of Shiksha Mitra in Primary School Kankhura, Mundoli as Gram Shiksha Samiti has recommended the name of the petitioner for appointment as Shiksha Mitra in Primary School, Khankhura, Mundoli; (b) any order, rule or direction which this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the circumstances of the case; (c) award the costs of the petition. 2 The submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that Block Education Officer, Block – Deval, Tehsil – Tharali District‐ Chamoli published an advertisement on 17.08.2005 for the post of Shiksha Mitra in various Primary Schools in Block – Deval. In pursuance to the advertisement, petitioner applied for the post of Shiksha Mitra and her application was duly recommended for appointment on the post of Shiksha Mitra in Primay School, Kankhura, Mundoli by the Gram Shiksha Samiti. Though the petitioner is eligible to be appointed as Shiksha Mitra in the aforesaid school but no action has been taken by respondent no. 2 for appointment of petitioner on the post of Shiksha Mitra till date. During the course of argument learned counsel for the petitioner has confined his prayer that writ petition may be disposed of with a direction to respondent no. 2 to take decision on the recommendation made by the Gram Shiksha Samiti for appointment of the petitioner on the post of Shiksha Mitra, which is still vacant, at the earliest. The prayer is innocuous. Consequently, I direct the respondent no. 2 to take decision on the recommendation made by Gram Shiksha Samiti, Village – Mundoli for appointment on the post of Shiksha Mitra within a period of four weeks from the date of production of certified copy of this order. With this direction the writ petition is finally disposed of. No order as to costs. (M.M. Ghildiyal, J) May 12, 2006 SKSharma
