From the month of May, 2017 their salary had been arbitrarily stopped without issuing any order in respect thereof.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The respondents asserted that the petitioners\u2019 degrees of integrated course from Central Board of Higher Education, New Delhi were not recognized in view of the letter issued by the Principal Secretary and as such the very appointment of the petitioners as panchayat teacher was bad.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court held that there was nothing in the counter affidavit to show that prior to withholding of such salary\/stoppage of salary with effect from May, 2017 the petitioners were ever afforded any opportunity of being heard in the matter. It is trite law that when an order is violative of the principles of natural justice, the plea of alternative remedy would not be a bar to exercise of jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India in such matter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court observed that whether the petitioner&#8217;s degree obtained in 2010 on basis of which petitioners were appointed as panchayat teacher was recognized or not was an issue which was required to be looked into by the authority before inflicting such harsh penal consequence.[Kanchan Kumari v.
