AVIK CHOWDHURY Vs. STATE OF WEST BENGAL

JUDGEMENT

(1.) This is the fourth round of litigation in this Court. All these litigations for one post of Clerk in Madanmohan Chak Chowdhury Institution, a state aided School. The school had forwarded a panel of candidates to the District Inspector of Schools (S.E.), Paschim Medinipur for approval. In that panel the writ petitioner was first and the added respondent second. Aggrieved by non-approval of that panel the writ petitioner filed W.P. No. 28567 (W) of 2006, being the second of the four writs filed. Debasish Kar Gupta, J. by his order dated 5th March, 2007 disposed of that writ application by directing consideration of the matter by the District Inspector of Schools (S.E.), Paschim Medinipur. After about one and half years he proceeded to consider the matter. He passed an order on 28th August, 2008. He held that a mob invaded the school and intimidated the selection committee to prepare the panel at its dictates. Further, the test for typing was not taken properly. Different members of the selection committee awarded different marks. The school was asked to prepare a panel afresh.

(2.) Another writ followed. This was W.P. No. 20587(W) of 2007. This writ application challenged the order of the District Inspector of Schools dated 28th August, 2008. The first point about the mob invading the school and intimidating the selection committee was before the court and dealt with by the final judgment and order dated 26th February 2009 of Indira Banerjee, J. as follows:

(3.) The matter went to the District Inspector of Schools again, pursuant to the said judgment and order dated 26th February, 2009.
