Jha, AC to AAG VII - 2 - P R E S E N T THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SUDHIR KUMAR KATRIAR & THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KISHORE KUMAR MANDAL **** S. K. Katriar & K.K.Mandal,JJ These three writ petitions have been preferred for a direction to the State Government to allow these petitioners, who are teachers of the cadre of government basic schools to superannuate on completion of sixty years of age. By orders dated 27.8.1993, 1.8.1993 and 7.7.1993 passed in these writ petitions, these were directed to be taken up for hearing after disposal of CWJC No. 84 of 1992. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties. It appears to us that the said CWJC No 84 of 1992 and analogous writ petitions, raising identical issues, were dismissed by order dated 15.4.2008, passed by a Division Bench of this Court. We find from a perusal of the order dated 15.4.2008 that the Division Bench reached the conclusion in view of the decision of a Full Bench of this Court in Bandhu Prasad Sigh Vs. State of Bihar, reported in 1994(2) PLJR 279. We are convinced that the present batch of writ petitions is entirely covered by the judgment of the Full Bench in Bandhu Prasad Singh Vs. State of Bihar, as well as the order of the Division Bench dated 15.4.2008, passed in CWJC No. 84 of 1992, and the analogous writ petitions. - 3 - In the result, the three writ petitions are dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ( S. K. Katriar ) ( Kishore K. Mandal ) Patna High Court, Dated the 21st day of January, 2010 HR/NAFR
