The Panchayat Secretary, Gram Panchayat, Thumha, District Sitamarhi ........respondents ----------- 4 19-02-2010 Heard learned counsel for the appellant and learned counsel for the State. The order passed by the writ court dated 6-2-2009 is in favour of the appellant/writ petitioner because it has been held that the impugned order dated 26-4-2007 whereby appointment of the appellant on the post of Panchayat Shikshak had been cancelled was illegal as well as in violation of principles of natural justice. It is not in dispute that the appellant has already been reinstated in service pursuant to the order under appeal and at present the only relief being claimed by the appellant is for back wages for the period he had to remain out of service from 26-4-2007 on account of cancellation of his appointment. Learned counsel for the appellant has placed reliance upon order passed in some similar writ petitions contained in annexure-2 to the memorandum of appeal to show that the petitioners in those cases were found entitled to entire arrears of salary. 2 In the facts and circumstances of the case, we are of the view that the appellant/writ petitioner was entitled for arrears of salary by way of consequential relief. This appeal is allowed to the aforesaid extent and the respondents are directed to pay to the appellant arrears of salary from 26-4-2007 till the date of his reinstatement within a period of three months from today.
