No. 5278 of 2004 counsel for the petitioner prays that the case of this petitioner stands on similar footing as Ravi Shankar, who was writ petitioner in C.W.J.C. No. 5278 of 2004. This writ application was disposed of analogous with several other cases and the High Court disposed of all these writ applications directing the State Govt. to constitute a Committee, which will examine the cases of teachers working in Non-Govt. Elementary Schools and thus entitled for cost of living allowance as per the government decision. The State of Bihar has decided to 2 grant cost of living allowance to the teachers of such Non-governmental recognized schools in which students have been imparted education up to Class VII. The order regarding giving of cost of living allowance to any Assistant teacher working in such schools can be allowed only after scrutinizing their claim in the light of the relevant provisions, rules, regulations and circulars of the Govt. as well as considering the factual aspect of the matter of this case. Accordingly, this application is being disposed of. The petitioner can also represent his case before the same Committee, which has been constituted by the State of Bihar in the light of the directions issued by the High Court in C.W.J.C. No. 5278 of 2004 and analogous cases. In case petitioner files his representation before the Committee constituted for this purpose, his case will also be considered in accordance with the directions of the High Court as well as observing the rules/regulations, circulars in this regard.
