M.Y.EQBAL, J. - (1.) SEVERAL irregularities allegedly committed by the officers of the Education Department have come to light. In several writ petitions, allegations have been made of appointing candidates either whose names appear below in the panel list or who have obtained requisite qualification after they were selected for appointment or after appointment letters were issued. This case is one of such type.
(2.) PETITIONER whose appointment has been cancelled/terminated vide termination order No. 1263 dated 18.8.2005 moved this Court on the ground that he obtained requisite teachers training qualification and was eligible for appointment. Admitted facts are that advertisement for appointment of teachers was issued in 2002. Thereafter, written test and interview were held and selection list was prepared. Petitioner along with the application, submitted marks -sheet, allegedly issued by Ursuline Primary Teachers Training College, Lohardaga. The members of the Scrutiny Committee/Selection Committee without verifying the fact that petitioner was possessing B.Ed, degree issued appointment letter. Petitioner was appointed on 16.2.2004. Subsequently, it was found that petitioner submitted fake marks -sheet and his appointment was made without verifying the certificates. Accordingly his appointment was cancelled by the impugned order. This Court by order dated 28.2.2006 directed the State Government to disclose the names of the officers who were the members of the Committee and on whose direction the appointment letters had been issued. This Court was of the view that why not those officers should also be prosecuted departmentally for issuing appointment letters without verifying the documents.
(3.) IT is stated by the learned Counsel appearing for the interveners who are none else but the members of the Committee that provisional appointment letters were issued after verification of the documents submitted by the candidates and payment was to be made after getting the document verified from the concerned institutions.;
