By these writ applications, the petitioners want consideration of their services as Seasional Assistants prior to their permanent absorption. to be reckoned for the purposes of tenure which would have a direct bearing on their retrial dues. This question has now been settled by this Court in the case of Satyendra Prasad Kumar Tarun –v- Bihar School Examination Board,Patna in CWJC No. 3077 of 2006 which was disposed of by order dated 8.8.2006. The said decision has been followed in several cases. I,therefore, direct that for the reasons recorded in order dated 8.8.2006 passed in CWJCNo. 3077 of 2006 , these writ petitions are disposed of with a request to the Bihar School Examination Board to ascertain the date of appointment of the petitioners as Seasional Assistant - 3 - and if it is found that such appointments were given prior to 1st January,1970, to give benefit of such appointments in matters of calculating the length of service of the petitioners for the purposes of fixation of their pensionary/ terminal/retrial dues and to make available to the petitioners upon such fixation as quickly as possible but preferably within three months from today. With these observations and directions, the writ petitions stand disposed of. Singh (Navaniti Pd.Singh)
