Patna High Court CWJC No.7850 of 2016 dt.12-12-2023 2/3 Oficer, i.e. respondent No.3, had inspected the Centre in question on 02.06.2014 and the petitioner was found absent and on that ground he has been removed from the post in question and it was also found that the Centre was run by only 50 children in place of 100 children and in the teacher attendance register name of five Shiksha Swem Sewak was mentioned and three cooks were working. As per guideline issued by the Govt. of Bihar, in the unit of 50 children, only three Shiksha Swem Sewak and two Cooks are required in Centre in question and directed the Centre-inCharge to remove two Shiksha Swem Sewak who were absent from the Centre without prior permission and also removed one Cook so direction may be issued to the concerned authority to reinstate the petitioner on his post as Shiksha Swem Sewak.
4. Learned counsel for the State, on the other hand, on the basis of referring the counter affidavit particularly in paragraph-15 and 16 of the counter affidavit, submits that when the District Programme Officer inspected the Centre which was found that out of five Shiksha Swam Sevaks only two Shiksha Swam Sevaks were present and the petitioner was found absent from the Centre and he has left the Centre without prior approval from the competent authority and as per letter No.1725 dated 03.06.2014 the petitioner and other Shiksha Swam Sevaks were

As per guidelines issued by the Govt. of Bihar, in the unit of 50 children only three Shiksha Swem Sewak and two Cooks are required in Centre in question and directed the Centre-in-Charge to remove two Shiksha Swem Sewak who were absent from the Centre without prior permission and also removed one Cook.
