SATPALSA HIGH SCHOOL Vs. KRISHNA RAM BHATTACHARYA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) This writ appeal is directed against the judgment and order dated 7th May, 2015 passed by a learned Judge of this Court whereby, W.P. 12507 (W) of 2014 presented by the first respondent (hereafter the 'writ petitioner'), was allowed with a direction upon the private respondents therein, who are the appellants before us, to release salary of 1132 days in favour of the writ petitioner and also to incorporate suitable entry in his service book, as directed by the District Inspector of Schools (SE), Birbhum, the fourth respondent (hereafter the 'DIoS'), in his order dated 12th Feb., 2014.

(2.) The writ petitioner had made an application before the DIoS on 1st April, 2013 claiming ameliorative relief in regard to alleged illegal actions of the Managing Committee, Satpalsa High School (hereafter the 'school') in deducting amounts from his due salary and forcing him to be "without pay" on days when he had availed of due leave. Since such representation was not considered, the first round of litigation was initiated by the writ petitioner before this Court by invoking its writ jurisdiction. It was disposed of by a learned Judge by an order dated 17th Sept., 2013 with a direction upon the DIoS to take a decision upon hearing the writ petitioner as well as the school. The DIoS arranged for a hearing on 19th Dec., 2013, which was attended by the writ petitioner as well as the teacher-in-charge of the school. The order of the DIoS reads as follows :-

(3.) Upon receipt of the order of the DIoS dated 12th Feb., 2014, the teacher-in-charge of the school addressed a letter dated 24th April, 2014 to the Director of School Education, West Bengal, the third respondent. An objection was lodged in regard to the said order of the DIoS and necessary advice solicited to tackle the situation.
