The Principal Secretary, Human Resources Development Department, Government of Bihar, Patna. 3. The Director, Primary Education, Government of Bihar, Patna. 4. The Special Director, Primary Education, Government of Bihar, Patna. 5. The Regional Deputy Director of Education, Saran Division, Chapra. ….. Respondents. ----------- 02/ 12.10.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioners and counsel appearing for the State. Petitioners have been issued a notice to show cause contained in letter nos. 644 and 646 dated 17.7.2009 asking them to show cause as to why they should not be terminated from their service as they were illegally appointed. Petitioners’ case is that though their names were not included in the approved list of 150 candidates selected for appointment and their names were in the panel below 150 candidates. However, on account of non-appearance of some of the persons whose names were there in the approved list. Subsequently, the Regional Deputy Director - 2 - of Education considered the appointment of those persons also whose names were below the approved list. 110 persons were appointed and in that 110 persons list of appointed candidates, petitioners’ name was also there and that list is being maintained in the offices of all Regional Deputy Directors of Education. It has been stated that in the notice it is mentioned that the petitioners were not there in 110 appointed candidates. Subsequently a correction letter was issued in which it is stated that mentioning of word ‘not’ in the notice is an error, and it should be read as, name was included in the list of 110 appointed candidates. I find that the writ application filed by the petitioners is pre-mature for the reason that till date no order has been passed by the authorities in response to the show cause notices issued to the petitioners. It is stated that petitioners have already submitted their show cause before the respondents which is under consideration. Since, after issuance of the notice to show cause, a correction letter has also been issued, and according to that correction letter petitioners’ names were there in the list of 110 appointees, there is no apparent reason for the petitioners that they may - 3 - be terminated. This is not the stage to interfere in this matter. In case any adverse order is passed against the petitioners, they will have liberty to approach this Court by filing a writ application. This writ application is, accordingly, dismissed. DKS/ (Mridula Mishra, J.)
