Petitioner was appointed on the post of Panchayat Teacher in the year 2007 and posted at Primary School Ravidas Tola, Ganpataul, Block-Mansoorchak, District-Begusarai. Her appointment was made, considering qualification of Up-Shastri, which is equivalent to intermediate. Petitioner had passed her Up-shastri course, for which a certificate had been issued by Kameshwar Singh Darbhanga Sanskrit University, Kameshwar Nagar, Darbhanga. A university recognized by the State Government. Subsequently, letter No. 06 dated 15.05.2009 was issued by the Mukhiya and Panchayat Secretary, terminating the petitioner from her service. The impugned order of termination was issued in the light of a direction 2 issued by the D.S.E., Begusarai. The D.S.E. Begusarai had directed all Mukhiya and Panchayat Secretary to terminate such Panchayat/Prakhand Teachers who were appointed on the basis of their Maulvi or Up-Shastri degree. Such direction had been issued by the D.S.E., Begusarai in the light of Letter No. 4240 dated 15.11.2007 issued by the Principal Secretary, Human Resources Development Department, Bihar, Patna. The Letter No. 4240 dated 15.11.2009 has been quashed by this Court in Ribha Rani’s case in C.W.J.C. No. 12456 of 2008 and analogous cases. Since the date of judgment passed in Ribha Rani’s case, in several matters, this Court has directed the D.S.E., Begusarai to re-instate the terminated Panchayat Teachers, in the light of orders passed in Ribha Rani’s case. But, till date writ applications are being filed for quashing of termination orders on this very ground. The writ application of the petitioner is being allowed. The Letter No. 06 dated 15.05.2009 issued from the level of the Mukhiya and Panchayat Secretary is quashed. The respondents are directed to re-instate the petitioner with all consequential benefits. However, the D.S.E., Begusarai is warned that in case he fails to re-instate all such Panchayat/Prakhand Teachers, who have been terminated from their services in the light of Letter No. 4240 issued by the Principal Secretary, Human Resources Development Department, Bihar Patna. A serious action will be taken against the D.S.E. The District Magistrate, Bagusarai is also directed to look into the matter as the 3 D.S.E., Begusarai is intentionally ignoring the direction of this Court in the earlier writ applications.
