TEACHER IN CHARGE Vs. STATE OF WEST BENGAL

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The length of pendency of this writ application together with non implementation of the order passed by the director of School Education West Bengal dated 12.10.1999/ 13.10.1999 passed pursuant to the Division Bench judgment of this court in MAT No. 2746 of 1997 dated 08.08.1997, have given rise to some rights in favour of the writ petitioner which were otherwise not available. I do not understand why this order dated 12.10.1999/13.10.1999 was not carried out although there was no stay of the order in this writ application.

(2.) In 1997 it was in the process of recruiting a Head Mistress for the school. It prepared a panel. By virtue of that panel the present Teacher-in-Charge being the writ petitioner No.1 would have been appointed the Head Mistress.

(3.) As this order has not been implemented, the present petitioner No.1 has continued to operate as Teacher-in-Charge of the school for more than 10 years, functioning defacto like the Head Mistress.
