JUDGMENT : V.K. Bist J. In compliance of the order dated 02.12.2016 Chief Education Officer, Haridwar-Dr. (Smt.) Pushpa Rani Verma, is present in the Court. 2. Learned Chief Standing Counsel informed the Court that Dr. (Smt.) Pushpa Rani Verma is the District Education Officer, Secondary and at present she is holding the charge of Chief Education Officer, Haridwar. He informed that on previous date she could not come to the Court for filing her own affidavit as she was in the workshop, namely, National University of Educational Planning and Administration at Delhi from 28.11.2016 to 02.12.2016 due to which she has handed over charge of officiating Chief Education Officer to Shri Gopal Dutt Dimari, who happened to be Block Education Officer and is also holding Additional charge of District Education Officer, Primary. He also informed that Block Education Officers, who are working on regular basis, declined to accept the charge. He informed that Mr. Ambika Kumar showed his inability to accept the charge of District Education Officer (Secondary) and Chief Education Officer. The Block Education Officer placed at serial no.2 of the seniority list, namely, Mr. Naresh Sharma, was transferred to other district and thereafter Shri Gopal Dutt Dimari, the third senior most Block Education Officer, who was also holding the charge of District Education Officer, Primary was given the charge of District Education Officer (Secondary) and Chief Education Officer, Haridwar. 3. I find the reasons, given by the learned Chief Standing Counsel, are justified for giving charge to the Block Education Officer. Therefore, the presence of Chief Education Officer, Haridwar is exempted. 4. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 5.
