IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2207 of 2009 MADHULATA KUMARI, WIFE OF SRI SUSHIL KUMAR SAH, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE MANIKPUR BHARRAHI BAZAR, POLICE STATION BHARRAHI BAZAR, DISTRICT MADHEPURA-- PETITIONER Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION, ARARIA, DISTRICT ARARIA, 3. BLOCK EDUCATION EXTENSION OFFICER, ARARIA, BLOCK, DISTRICT ARARIA 4. BLOCK DEVELOPMENT OFFICER, ARARIA BLOCK, DISTRICT ARARIA---RESPONDENTS ----------- For the petitioner:- Mr. Jitendra Kumar Singh,Advocate For the State:- Assistant Counsel to Standing Counsel No.VIII 2 17.2.2009 Prayer of the petitioner is for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to allow the petitioner to participate in counselling for appointment of Block Teacher. According to the petitioner, she had passed Pandit Pariksha examination which is equivalent to Intermediate examination but he is not being called for counselling on the ground that the qualification of Pandit Pariksha is not recognized qualification. Assistant Counsel to Standing Counsel No.VIII appears on behalf of the State. Mr. Jitendra Prasad Singh appearing on behalf of the petitioner, submits that the name of the Institution i.e., Gurukul University, Brindaban, Mathura which conducts this examination had not been included in the list of the unrecognized Institution and therefore petitioner is eligible to be called for counselling. I do not find any substance in the submission of Mr. Singh. Merely the fact that the Institution from which the petitioner had - 2 - passed the examination is not in the list of unrecognized Institution itself shall not make the Institution from where she had passed the examination as a recognized Institution. No chit of paper has been produced to show that the State Government had taken a decision to consider Pandit Pariksha said to have been passed by the petitioner to be equivalent to Intermediate examination. I do not find any merit in the application. Application stands dismissed in limine. (Chandramauli Kr.Prasad,ACJ.) A.Kumar
