Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:61194 Court No. - 6 Case :- WRIT - A No. - 5268 of 2025 Petitioner :- Smt Vandana Singh Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 3 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Siddharth Khare,Sr. Advocate Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C.,Harsh Vardhan Gupta Hon'ble Saurabh Shyam Shamshery,J.
1. Heard Sri Ashok Khare, learned Senior Advocate assisted by Sri Kauntey Singh, learned counsel for petitioner and Sri Harsh Vardhan Gupta, Advocate for Respondents-3 and 4.
2. It is very strange that now the District Basic Education Officers of State of U.P., in the garb of uploading orders on official website, are mentioning “speaking order ka sharansh” without even disclosing the date when speaking order was passed and incumbents are approaching this Court that no detail or speaking
order was served upon.
3. In the present case also, learned Senior Advocate for petitioner has made same assertion that no speaking order was served upon petitioner and since uploaded order is only an office memorandum, therefore, even if it is quashed, it does not mean that speaking
order is quashed since for that petitioner has to challenge the speaking order itself.
4. Learned counsel appearing for Respondents-3 and 4 submits that speaking order will be provided to petitioner within 72 hours.
5. Considering the above submission and assurance given by
learned counsel appearing for Respondents-3 and 4, this writ petition is disposed of with liberty to petitioner to challenge the speaking order, if so advised. Since petitioner has been forced to
rush this Court only on basis of office memorandum, as copy of speaking order was not served, therefore, a cost of Rs. 2000/- is imposed on Respondent-4, i.e., Basic Education Officer, Kaushambi, to be paid to petitioner alongwith the copy of speaking order.
6. A copy of this order shall be sent to Secretary, Basic Education, Government of U.P., Lucknow, to ensure that all the District Basic Education Officers make it sure that before uploading summary of speaking order on official website, copy of same be served upon concerned employee.
7. Registrar (Compliance) to take steps.
