(in person) For respondent Nos. 2 & 3 : Mr. Shivaji Pandey, Sr. Adv. Mr. C.K. Agrawal, Adv. Mr. K. Ravish, Adv. For the State : Learned SC-4 ---------- 3. 22/9/2008 This application has been filed for issuance of writ in the nature of certiorari for quashing the order dated 18th of July, 2008 passed by the Patna Bench of a Central Administrative Tribunal in O.A. No. 228 of 2005. Petitioner appears in person. Respondents No. 2 and 3 are represented by Mr. Shivaji Pandey, Sr. Advocate. State of Bihar is represented by SC-4. Short facts giving rise to the present application are that before joining as Post Graduate Teacher in Central School on 16.7.1973, petitioner had worked as teacher in Umairabad High School from 25.9.1961 to 15.7.1973. Later, the petitioner was promoted as Principal and ultimately superannuated from service on 31.12.1997. He filed application for counting the services rendered by him in aforesaid school for the purpose of pensionary and other benefits. By reason of the impugned order, said prayer has been rejected. The Central Administrative Tribunal on appraisal of the materials came to the conclusion that the School in question, - 2 - during the period petitioner worked was non-government recognized Secondary School and the responsibility for payment of salary, was on the School Managing Committee and only deficit grants were given to the School. The Tribunal also came to the conclusion that it is only after 21.5.1974 that the State Government granted full grant. Services rendered in Government institution or autonomous body receiving grants in aid of more than 50 pr cent, are only fit to be counted for pension. The Tribunal on appraisal of materials came to the conclusion that the school in which petitioner worked was not a Government institution nor autonomous body receiving aid of more than 50%. Accordingly it held that service rendered by the petitioner is not fit to be counted. We do not find any error in the same. The petition stands dismissed. S.Ali (Chandramauli Kr. Prasad, J.)
