The Collector, Muzaffarpur while considering the matter found that the allegations against him were technical in nature and that there was a recommendation of the Block Programme Officer, Muzaffarpur that he should be given benefit of doubt. As such, an order terminating petitioner\u2019s services was set aside by the District Magistrate and the Deputy Development Commissioner, Muzaffarpur was directed to ensure that the petitioner is allowed to join as Panchayat Rojgar Sevak. Pursuant thereto the Deputy Development Commissioner directed the petitioner to execute a new agreement so that he may be allowed to resume his contractual engagement as Panchayat Rojgar Sevak.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The present petition was filed apprehending that if the petitioner executes a new agreement he would be deprived of the benefits of his earlier services if any is available to him or others similarly situated in the future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court clarified that in the event such an agreement is executed since the order of the District Magistrate had set aside petitioner\u2019s earlier termination order, therefore the benefits, if any, arising out of his contractual status prior to setting aside of his termination could not obliterate in any manner.
