IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.W.J.C No.14360 of 2006 SMT.RINA KUMARI SINHA, WIFE OF RAJ KUMAR, RESIDING AT MOHALLA SADAR BAZAR JAMALPUR, POLICE STATION JAMALPUR, DISTRICT MUNGER, AT PRESENT POSTED AS ASSISTANT TEACHER IN GAURANG PATHASHALA HIGH SCHOOL, JAMALPUR, DISTRICT MUNGER. ............PETITIONER. Versus 1.THE STATE OF BIHAR. 2.THE DIRECTOR, SECONDARY EDUCATION, NEW SECRETARIATE, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA. 3.THE DISTRICT EDUCATION OFFICER, MUNGER. 4.THE STAFF SELECTION COMMISSION, THROUGH ITS SECRETARY, POST VETERINARY COLLEGE, PATNA. .............RESPONDENTS. --------------- 03/ 07.07.2011 Having regard to the facts that the petitioner claims to be a teacher of Gaurang Pathshala High School, Jamalpur, Munger, a minority school receiving aid from the State Government in the matter of payment of salary to its teachers working under the staffing pattern and that her so called appointment by one Managing Committee has already been terminated by the another Managing Committee this Court would hardly find any reason now to direct the District Education Officer to intervene in the matter, inasmuch as, such teachers of minority institution are only appointed by the Managing Committee. The District Education Officer in fact has no role to play in the appointment/termination 2 of the service of a teacher of a minority institution and therefore, the prayer made in this writ application that the District Education Officer should forward the name of the petitioner to the Vidyalaya Sewa Board for concurrence of appointment of the petitioner is wholly misconceived and in fact has become infructuous on account of subsequent event of her alleged termination of service. As a matter of fact, now the grievance of the petitioner is solely confined against the decision of the Managing Committee of a private aided school which is not a State within the meaning of Article 12 of the constitution of India and accordingly this writ application under the said circumstances is also no longer maintainable as has been held by the division bench of this Court in the case of Chandra Nath Thakur Vs. Bihar Sanskrit Shiksha Board reported in 1999(1) PLJR 529. That being so, this writ application is devoid of any merit and is, accordingly, dismissed. Ranjan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J)
