Respondents ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MIHIR KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 3 04-07-2013 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Learned counsel for the petitioner assailing the impugned order dated 13.08.2012, passed by the District Teachers Employment Appellate Tribunal, Khagaria (hereinafter referred to as the Tribunal) in Case No. 01 of 2012, whereby and whereunder, the entire appointment list of Panchayat Teachers of Olapur-Gangaur gram panchayat has been cancelled, has submitted that the appointment of the petitioner on the post of Panchayat Teacher on 05.01.2007 under BC-I category did not suffer from any error, inasmuch as, he was at serial no. 2 of the panel and after the resignation of Kumari Priyanka who was at serial no. 1 of the panel was correctly appointed by the Panchayat after following all the prescribed procedure. In this regard he has also submitted that the complaint filed by Kumari Lal Mani alleging that she was denied her appointment was directed specifically against Sushma Dayal and Charanjeet
Legal Reasoning
Patna High Court CWJC No.17240 of 2012 (3) dt.04-07-2013 2 Kumar Singh and therefore, the Tribunal ought to have not disturbed the appointment of the petitioner even when the matter was remitted back under the order dated 01.12.2011 passed in C.W.J.C No. 14622 of 2009 because in that writ application only Sushma Dayal and Charanjeet Kumar Singh were made party by Kumari Lalmani without their being any complaint against any newly appointed teacher including the petitioner. Learned counsel for the State on the other hand has supported the findings recorded in the judgment of the tribunal and has submitted that the whole appointment made in the Panchayat was vitiated by fraud and as such the view of tribunal in setting aside the entire appointment cannot be held to be either in fact or in law. In the considered opinion of this Court the approach of the Tribunal in setting aside the entire selection process and the resultant appointment including that of the petitioner is perfectly valid and justified. The Tribunal has given cogent reasons for the same which reads as follows:- 11- lacaf/kr vfHkys[k dh tkWap ,oa lquokbZ ds dze esa Li"V gqvk fd o"kZ 2006 esa fuorZeku iapk;r lfpo ,oa fu;kstu bZdkbZ ds lnL;

There is also a finding that the counselling register was itself tampered and its pages were changed and the register which had initially contained 68 pages were interpolated by making it of 72 pages. In fact the tribunal had also given full detail in the manner in which the name of the candidates and their roll numbers etc., were sought to be changed by use of whitener which would be an evidence of the fact that the mass bungling was committed in course of counselling and the resultant appointment. The submission of learned counsel for the petitioner that as against the name of the petitioner no specific infirmity was found and therefore, the appointment of the petitioner should not have been interfered by the Tribunal has to be only noted for its being rejected. If the entire selection process was vitiated by fraud, interpolation and a massive bungling, if the record of the counselling was itself sought to be changed no sanctity can be given to any of the appointment made on account of such vitiated selection process. Reference in this connection may usefully be made to the judgment of the Apex Court in the case of Krishna Yadav vs The State of Haryana reported in 1994(4) SCC page 165:- "It is highly regrettable that the holders of public offices both big and small have forgotten that the offices entrusted to them are sacred trusts. Such offices re meant for use and not abuse. From a minister to a menial everyone has to gain undue advantages. The whole been dishonest examination and the interview have turned out to be a farcical exhibiting base character of those who have been responsible for this sordid episode. It shocks our conscience to come across such a systematic fraud. It is somewhat surprising the 12 Patna High Court CWJC No.17240 of 2012 (3) dt.04-07-2013 13 High Court should have taken the path of least resistance stating, in view of the destruction of records, that it was helpless. It should have helped itself. Law is not that powerless." Having held so, the Supreme Court had set aside the selection of all the 96 Taxation Inspectors who were selected and appointed by abuse of the selection process. Thus in view of the findings recorded by the Tribunal in the present case, no error can be said to have been committed in its cancelling the entire selection and appointment with a direction to undergo fresh process of selection. That being so, this application is wholly misconceived and is, accordingly, dismissed. The interim order passed earlier on 7.1.2013 shall accordingly stand vacated. Rishi/- (Mihir Kumar Jha, J) 13
