Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner was working as Guest Teacher (Mathematics) in the Government Ashram Lemaru, District Korba by virtue of order of appointment dated 18.10.2019. He would further submit that according to conditions enumerated in the order of appointment, the honorarium payable to the petitioner was Rs. 16,000/- per month but he has not been paid honorarium for period from 05-11-2019 to 12-03-2020. 3. On the other hand, learned counsel appearing for the State would submit that the petitioner was lacking requisite qualification. He would further submit that the respondents are ready to pay honorarium @ Rs. 4,000/- per month. He would submit that the petition is misconceived and deserves to be dismissed. 4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the documents placed on record. 5. Perusal of order of appointment would make it clear that the petitioner would be entitled to receive a sum of Rs. 16,000/- per month and he has not been paid honorarium for period from 05-11-2019 to 12-03-2020. The contention made by Mr. Anmol Sharma, Panel Lawyer cannot be accepted as the petitioner was appointed after due scrutiny of the documents with regard to his educational qualification. Deviation from conditions of order of appointment at subsequent stage is not permissible. Accordingly, the instant petition is disposed of reserving liberty in favour of the petitioner to make a 3 representation before the respondents No. 2 to 4, and in turn, the said authorities are directed to consider the claim of the petitioner in light of the observations made herein-above within a period of 90 days from its receipt. 6. With the aforesaid observation(s), and direction(s), the instant petition is hereby disposed of. Sd/- (Rakesh Mohan Pandey) JUDGE $iddhant
