                             Clause-10 to the Letters Patent is directed against the<\/p>\n
                             judgement and order dated 5th August 2008 passed by the
\n                    2<\/span><\/p>\n
learned Single Judge in C.W.J.C. No. 3982 of 1993. The<\/p>\n
matter at dispute is the appointment of the respondent<\/p>\n
No.4 – the writ petitioner as a clerk in Jagjeevan Avodya<\/p>\n
Sanskrit College- respondent No.1 (hereinafter referred<\/p>\n
to as \u201ethe College\u201f). The College is affiliated to Sri<\/p>\n
Kameshwar      Singh   Darbhanga     Sanskrit    University<\/p>\n
(hereinafter referred to as \u201ethe University\u201f). The appeal is<\/p>\n
preferred by the Vice Chancellor and the Registrar of the<\/p>\n
University.\n<\/p>\n
          2. It is not in dispute that the writ petitioner<\/p>\n
was a student in the College. In the year1974, though a<\/p>\n
minor, he was appointed as a clerk in the College. He<\/p>\n
continued in service till the year 1993. In the year 1989<\/p>\n
or there about a dispute arose whether the writ petitioner<\/p>\n
was senior to one Vijay Singh, another clerk in the<\/p>\n
College. The writ petitioner claimed that he was<\/p>\n
appointed as a Head Clerk while the aforesaid Vijay<\/p>\n
Singh, respondent No.3, was appointed as a clerk in the<\/p>\n
year 1979. After a round of litigation the matter was<\/p>\n
referred to the Vice Chancellor of the University. The<\/p>\n
Vice Chancellor under his order dated 16th February
\n                   3<\/span><\/p>\n
1993 recorded the findings that on the date of his<\/p>\n
appointment the writ petitioner was a minor; that the<\/p>\n
College did not have a sanctioned post of Head Clerk;<\/p>\n
that the writ petitioner had admitted that his appointment<\/p>\n
was of 1st July 1977; that the appointment of the writ<\/p>\n
petitioner was made without following the due<\/p>\n
procedure. In view of the said findings the Principal of<\/p>\n
the College was directed to terminate the service of the<\/p>\n
writ petitioner with immediate effect. Consequently, the<\/p>\n
service of the writ petitioner came to be terminated on<\/p>\n
22nd February 1993.\n<\/p>\n
           3. Feeling aggrieved he filed CWJC No. 3982<\/p>\n
of 1993 under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution<\/p>\n
of India. In the writ petition the writ petitioner claimed<\/p>\n
that the Vice Chancellor had not only made order against<\/p>\n
the writ petitioner but he had also recorded findings<\/p>\n
against the aforesaid Vijay Singh. Against Vijay Singh<\/p>\n
the Vice Chancellor had observed; that his appointment<\/p>\n
was of 1st July 1979 but he had produced a forged<\/p>\n
appointment letter of 1st July 1969; that the said Vijay<\/p>\n
Singh had manipulated a forged approval letter and had
\n                   4<\/span><\/p>\n
thus perpetrated fraud. The Vice Chancellor had directed<\/p>\n
for termination of service of the said Vijay Singh also.<\/p>\n
          4. The petition was contested             by     the<\/p>\n
University. The University supported the order of the<\/p>\n
Vice Chancellor. The University maintained that the<\/p>\n
College had no sanctioned post of Head Clerk. The<\/p>\n
University   contended    that   appointment      letter   of<\/p>\n
respondent No.3 as of 1st July 1969 was doubtful; that<\/p>\n
the appointment of the writ petitioner was illegal, made<\/p>\n
without the sanctioned post and; that the writ petitioner<\/p>\n
had been given due opportunity of hearing before the<\/p>\n
Vice Chancellor. The appointment of the writ petitioner<\/p>\n
and the respondent No. 3 was made on a non existent<\/p>\n
post, that too without following due procedure.<\/p>\n
          5. The learned Single Judge held that “in<\/p>\n
absence of any provision of law for the Universities in<\/p>\n
Bihar, the provision relating to services of State<\/p>\n
Employees would govern the field”. The learned Judge<\/p>\n
relied upon Section 57 of the Bihar Pension Rules that<\/p>\n
provides, “A government servant in inferior service,<\/p>\n
shall not begin until the Government servant
\n                   5<\/span><\/p>\n
concerned attained the age of 16 years”. In view of<\/p>\n
the said provision the learned Single Judge held that<\/p>\n
“the service of a Government servant will count from<\/p>\n
the date on which he attains the age of 16 years”.<\/p>\n
Learned Single Judge held that it was unjustified to<\/p>\n
terminate the service of the writ petitioner on the ground<\/p>\n
that the writ petitioner was below 18 years on the date of<\/p>\n
his appointment. Learned Single Judge took into account<\/p>\n
25 years of service the writ petitioner had rendered with<\/p>\n
the College and that the order of termination of service<\/p>\n
was made without notice to the writ petitioner. In view<\/p>\n
of the said findings the learned Single Judge quashed the<\/p>\n
order of termination of service dated 22nd February 1993.<\/p>\n
The writ petitioner was allowed to be continued in<\/p>\n
service as a clerk with consequential reliefs. Therefore,<\/p>\n
the present appeal.\n<\/p>\n
          6. The facts stated hereinabove are not in<\/p>\n
dispute. We are informed at the Bar that the college does<\/p>\n
not have a sanctioned post of a Head Clerk and that<\/p>\n
pending the writ petition a peon in the College has been<\/p>\n
promoted as a Clerk and he has been serving as a clerk
\n                     6<\/span><\/p>\n
till the date.\n<\/p>\n
            7. In view of the above facts, it is indisputable<\/p>\n
that the writ petitioner had served the college for more<\/p>\n
than 20 years and that his service was terminated<\/p>\n
unceremoniously, following the order of the Vice<\/p>\n
Chancellor. Though we do not agree with the view<\/p>\n
expressed by the learned Single Judge that in absence of<\/p>\n
the rules to the contrary, provisions relating to the<\/p>\n
services of the State Employees shall apply. In our view,<\/p>\n
unless the University had adopted the rules governing the<\/p>\n
State employees, such rules cannot apply to the<\/p>\n
employees of the University as a matter of course. We<\/p>\n
also do not agree with the interpretation of Section 57<\/p>\n
put forth by the learned Single Judge. The said Section<\/p>\n
should only mean that no person can be employed in<\/p>\n
inferior service of the State Government unless he has<\/p>\n
attained the age of 16 years (as it stood then).<\/p>\n
            8. But we agree with the view that notice to<\/p>\n
the writ petitioner was required to be given before his<\/p>\n
service was terminated. In view of the lapse committed<\/p>\n
by the College and the fact that writ petitioner had
\n                    7<\/span><\/p>\n
rendered more than 20 years of service, we confirm the<\/p>\n
order of the learned Single Judge setting aside the order<\/p>\n
of termination of service of the writ petitioner. We are,<\/p>\n
however, inclined to modify the reliefs granted by the<\/p>\n
learned Single Judge.\n<\/p>\n
          9.   In view of quashing of the termination<\/p>\n
order dated 22nd February 1993 the writ petitioner Sri<\/p>\n
Kapildeo Sharma is entitled for reinstatement in service.<\/p>\n
The College will, within six weeks from today, reinstate<\/p>\n
the writ petitioner in service. The period from the date of<\/p>\n
termination of service of the writ petitioner till the date<\/p>\n
of his reinstatement in service will be treated as the<\/p>\n
period of Extra Ordinary Leave without pay. The<\/p>\n
consequences shall follow. In the event the College fails<\/p>\n
to reinstate the writ petitioner in service as aforesaid, the<\/p>\n
writ petitioner will be entitled to pay and allowances<\/p>\n
commencing from 10th August 2010.\n<\/p>\n
          10. In view of appointment of Umakant<\/p>\n
Choudhary a peon in the College as the Office Clerk, the<\/p>\n
College and the University will be at liberty to create a<\/p>\n
supernumerary post of Office Clerk to accommodate the
\n                                          8<\/span><\/p>\n
                      writ petitioner. The College will be at liberty to approach<\/p>\n
                      the State Government for creation of supernumerary post<\/p>\n
                      of Office Clerk and for release of the salary grant in<\/p>\n
                      respect of the writ petitioner.\n<\/p>\n
                                 11. Subject to the above directions, the Letters<\/p>\n
                      Patent Appeal is disposed of.\n<\/p>\n
                                 12. Interim applications stand disposed of.<\/p>\n
                                             (R. M. Doshit, CJ.)<\/p>\n
