IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11758 of 2005 RANGI RAM @ RANGI LAL RAM, SON OF LATE THAG RAM, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE NARAINPUR, P.S. AND P.O. KUCHAIKOTE, DISTRICT GOPALGANJ. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PETITIONER Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR. 2. DIRECTOR, PRIMARY EDUCATION, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA. 3. DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION, GOPALGANJ. 4. DISTRICT EDUCATION OFFICER, GOPALGANJ. 5. KANHAIYA RAM, SON OF NOT KNOWN, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE TARI, P.S. MAHNADPUR, P.O. MAHNADPUR, DISTRICT GOPALGANJ. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RESPONDENTS ******** 3 4.2.2011 Heard learned counsel for the State. The petitioner was appointed as Assistant Teacher in a primary school in the year 1976. The writ application has been filed praying that he may be promoted as the Headmaster of the school in question. Nobody appears for the petitioner to press this application. However, it appears from the pleading that the petitioner would have retired by now and the ground for seeking promotion to the post of Headmaster is that somebody junior to him had been granted the promotion. The promotion on the post of Headmaster is given on the basis of seniority as well as vacancy. There are no pleadings to justify that there was a vacancy and the date on which the petitioner is seeking promotion to the post of Headmaster. I, therefore, find no merit in this writ application and it is accordingly dismissed. Sanjay ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
