SUPRAKAS SAHU Vs. STATE OF WEST BENGAL

JUDGEMENT

(1.) NONE appears on behalf of the respondents when the matter is called on. No accommodation is prayed for. On January 18, 2013 also none appeared on behalf of the respondents. In order to give them one more chance the hearing of this matter was adjourned on that date.

(2.) THIS writ application is directed against an order passed by the respondent No. 3 under Memo No. 391 -L(3) dated August 28, 2012. By virtue of the impugned order the prayer of the petitioner for granting final approval of his postgraduate scale of pay in his favour in connection with his services as an Assistant Teacher of Haldia High School District -Purba Medinipur, was rejected.

(3.) AFTER perusing the aforesaid order, I find that the impugned order was quashed and set aside in the above writ application with a direction upon the respondent No. 3 to reconsider the matter. It is a matter of surprise that the respondent No. 3 repeated and reiterated the ground which had been set aside by the aforesaid order dated June 22, 2012 passed in W.P. No. 9312 (W) of 2012. It is not only permissible under law but also an example of introducing rule of man in place of rule of law that is not permissible by a State Government officer in our country.
