The petitioner filed this writ petition for a direction, inter alia, seeking the following reliefs : “That this is an application for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus directing and commanding the respondents to approve the petitioner as the Founder Headmaster of Shri Ram Parichchan Chandra Jyoti High School, Belbarghat, District Vaishali in pursuance of the concurrence given by the School Service Board under its secretary’s letter no.175 dated 27.2.1992 and to pay him all the consequential benefits of service with effect from the date of the take over and nationalization of the school i.e. 2.10.1980 as has been done in the similarly situate cases.” 2 It appears that the petitioner seeks the direction with respect to the period during which the school in question was in private hands. It is, therefore, not possible to issue such a direction in exercise of writ jurisdiction. The writ petition is dismissed. Patna High Court, Dated 19th January, 2010, Sym (S.K.Katriar,J.) (Kishore K.
