Vs.
State of U.P. and others
Hon. Sanjay Misra, J.
These are two connected writ petitions. The first having been filed by the Committee of Management, Shahganj Public Inter College, Shahganj, Jaunpur through its Manager Sri Ashok Kumar Sinha and another whereby the order dated 23.9.2004 passed by the District Inspector of Schools, Jaunpur ( annexure-4 to the writ petition) has been challenged. It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that the approval granted by the DIOS to the respondent no.5 was illegal in as much as there was dispute with respect to Committee of Management as also the functioning of the Principal at that time who has been subsequently charge sheeted and as such process of appointment initiated by the Committee of Management was without jurisdiction. It is contended that the appointment order dated 15.9.2003 which has been approved by the DIOS was forged and fake document. It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that against the same order the petitioner has filed representation which is pending before the DIOS and the same has not been decided.
In the second writ petition filed by Shyam Narain Yadav the prayer has been made that respondents be directed to ensure the

payment of salary to the petitioner on the post of peon from the date of his joining i.e. 21.9.2003 in the institution since his appointment has been duly approved by the DIOS vide order dated 23.9.2004.
Counter affidavit and rejoinder affidavit have been exchanged between the parties and these writ petitions are being disposed of finally at this stage with consent of learned counsel for the parties.
The main contention of the Committee of Management while resisting the claim of the petitioner is that the appointment letter issued by the Principal of the Institution and the selection process initiated by the alleged Committee of Management was without jurisdiction. It is stated that the appointment letter dated 15.9.2003 filed as annexure-4 to the writ petition is forged and fake document. It is also contended that the appointment, if any, as alleged, is also bad for the reason that the post was to be filled by a general category candidate whereas it has been filled up by an OBC candidate.
From the pleadings and submissions of the learned counsel for the parties it appears that there is a serious dispute on factual issues. At the time when prior approval for appointment was taken the institution was under the management of the S.D.M. and it is contended that no such approval was accorded and as such the document was forged and fictitious. The Committee of Management has not been heard by the DIOS who has held that the appointment of Shyam Narain Yadav was made in accordance with law. This court is not in a position to adjudicate as to whether the documents are genuine or forged. The DIOS has not addressed this factual issue nor he has invited the Committee of Management for their version.
In the interest of justice it would be proper that the disputed factual issues may be decided by the Joint Director of Education, Varanasi since a decision on the disputed facts by an authority competent to do so is necessary. In view of above, it is directed that Joint Director of Education, Varanasi will decide the representation

dated 1.11.2004 of the Committee of Management if it is in lawful control of the institution in accordance with law after giving an opportunity to Shyam Narain Yadav as also to the said Committee of Management after obtaining comments from the DIOS regarding the findings recorded in the impugned order dated 23.9.2004. The Joint Director of Education, Varanasi will decide the disputed factual issues preferably within a period of four months from the date a certified copy of this order is produced before him. It is also directed that the claim of the petitioner if it is found to be correct by respondent no.2 suitable directions with respect to payment of his salary may be issued thereon. It is made clear that the Committee of Management ( petitioner in W.P.No.60342 of 2005) as well as Shyam Narain Yadav (petitioner in W.P.No.8123 of 2006) will not seek any unnecessary adjournments in the proceedings before the respondent no.2. In order to get the matter decided expeditiously the parties agree to appear before the Joint Director of Education, Varanasi between 18th to 22nd September, 2006 alongwith necessary objections and other documents upon which they place reliance.
In view of the aforesaid directions, both the writ petitions are disposed of finally. No order is passed as to costs.
