Shekhar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Sushant Kumar, AC to S.C.-II …...... 08/ 06.01.2026: Heard, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. 2. By filing this writ petition, petitioner who is a Para Teacher, prays to allow him to continue his service as a Teacher in Rajkiya Madhaye Vidhyalaya (Government Middle School) at Garabandh, Nagar Untari, Garhwa, which was his original place of posting. He also prays that his dues salary along with interest from 2017 be paid to him. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was duly appointed as a Para Teacher in the Government Middle School, Garabandh and later on was sent for training. He submits that he was also sent on deputation to Primary School in Garabandh with effect from 11.07.2011. The said school was later merged with an upgraded Primary School. It is stated that allegation was levelled against this petitioner in relation to some defalcation and also for not working properly. Thus, the petitioner was forced to resign, but his resignation was never accepted. He submits that thereafter he orally requested the authorities not to accept his resignation as he wants to join his original school where he was appointed, but now the respondents are also not allowing the petitioner to the join his original school. He submits that no formal order has been passed. Thus, this writ petition is filed. 4. Mr. Sushant Kumar, learned AC to S.C-II submits that as the petitioner remained unauthorizedly absent for considerable period of time, a decision was taken by the School Management Committee to terminate the contract of the petitioner. Ultimately, the contract was terminated which was upheld by the Block Development Extension Officer and the same was duly communicated to the petitioner. The District Education Officer, Garhwa also confirmed the termination of the petitioner, thus, the petitioner is not entitled for any relief. 5. Admittedly, the petitioner was appointed as a Para Teacher in Government Middle School, Garabandh. For a week, he was sent for training. Thereafter, a complaint was filed against this petitioner, which was enquired into. It was decided by the School Management Committee to terminate the contract of the petitioner. The meeting was held on 26.07.2018. The minutes of the meeting has been brought on record along with the supplementary counter affidavit. From the minutes, I find that the committee had decided to cancel the contract of the petitioner. The Block Development Extension Officer on 23.10.2018 accepted the said recommendation and directed to communicate the same to the petitioner also. The said decision was communicated to the petitioner vide speed post. Vide Memo No.37 dated 08.01.2019, the District Superintendent of Education-cum - District Programme Officer, Samagra Siksha Abhiyan, Garhwa accepted the aforesaid recommendation and confirmed the same. Thus, from the aforesaid documents, it is clear that the contract appointment of the petitioner stood terminated. Thus, the contention of the petitioner that no formal order has been passed cannot be accepted as the same is absolutely beyond the record of this case as the record suggest that the petitioner was terminated and the same was accepted by the authorities. 6. Be it noted that none of these orders or the action of the respondents has been challenged by this petitioner in this writ petition. Once the contract of the petitioner has been terminated, petitioner has got no right to rejoin his service at his initial place of posting, which the petitioner in this writ petition prayed for. Thus, I find no merit in this writ petition, thus, no relief can be granted to the petitioner, the same is accordingly, dismissed. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 06th January, 2026 R.S./ Uploaded on 09 /01/2026
