Mr. Md. Rahmatullah, Advocate For the Respondent State: Mr. R.B.N.Singh, AC to GA-10 For the Respondent No.12 : Mr. Sushanta Kumar Das, Advocate =========================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR TRIPATHI and HONOURABLE JUSTICE SMT. NILU AGRAWAL ORAL JUDGMENT (Per: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR TRIPATHI) Date: 10-04-2017 Heard counsel for the parties.

On the basis of a letter dated 20th July, 2009 issued by the Block Development Officer of Balrampur Block, the Panchayat Secretary, Gram Panchayat Raj, Kirora, district Katihar, cancelled

Patna High Court LPA No.1124 of 2014 dt.10-04-2017 2/3 the appointment of the private respondent, who was petitioner before the learned single Judge. The said order of the Panchayat Secretary was dated 04.12.2011. The private respondent, therefore, chose to file a writ application and he sought quashing of the order dated 04.12.2011 of the Panchayat Secretary and the letter dated 20th July, 2009 of the Block Development Officer.

After having given considered opinion to the dispute, the learned single Judge opined and his finding emerges from paragraph 6, which reads as under :

"6. From the facts and circumstances of the case and on the basis of the submission made on behalf of the parties, it would transpire evidently the impugned letter dated 4.12.2011 has been issued without any authority. After the dispute having been finally decided by the District Teachers Employment Appellate Authority, Katihar, the Panchayat Secretary did not have the jurisdiction to take a different view. In the impugned letter dated 4.12.2011 it has been mentioned that the said letter was being issued to ensure compliance of the order passed this Court in CWJC No. 11784 of 2007. No order has been brought before this Court passed in CWJC No. 11784 of 2007 which was required to be complied with by the said letter. The said writ application was disposed of with the simple observation that the petitioner shall have the liberty to approach appropriate authority for

Patna High Court LPA No.1124 of 2014 dt.10-04-2017 3/3 disposal of his representation."

If in this background, the learned single Judge allowed the writ application, in the opinion of this Bench he has committed no illegality either of fact or of law in extending the relief to the private respondent No.12.

Appeal has no merit. It is dismissed.
