IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5722 of 2009 MAHENDRA SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 05.05.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is aggrieved by an order of termination dated 24.4.2007 from the post of Shiksha Mitra and denial of salary from March, 2006 to 18.5.2007. The petitioner was appointed as Shiksha Mitra on 3.4.2003 on contract basis for 11 months. This was renewed on 30.3.2004 and the last tenure of renewal for 11 months was made in April, 2005 valid till March, 2006. The petitioner has not placed any material on record to demonstrate as to in what circumstances he came to acquire fourth renewal to claim the status of Panchayat Shikshak on 1.7.2006. The Government policy provided for three renewal terms of 11 months for Shiksha Mitra. If the tenure of the petitioner lapsed in March, 2006, the fact that he may have continued thereafter in a manner known to him and the concerned Respondent, when there is no material on record to substantiate a legal continuance, this Court finds it difficult to grant 2 any relief to the petitioner. The writ application is, accordingly, dismissed. AKS/ (Navin Sinha, J.)
