IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.15950 of 2007 Smt.Sushma Sinha @ Shushma Kumari, wife of Abhay Kumar Sinha of Mohalla Samir Takiya, New Colony Kali Bari Near Happy School, P.S. Civil Line, Dist. Gaya. -------- Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. Vice Chancellor, Magadh University, Bodh Gaya. 3. The Secretary, Shishu Niketan under Magadh University, Bodh Gaya, Campus. 4. Principal of Shishu Niketan School, Bodh Gaya. 5. The Secretary, Higher Education, Human Resources Department, Bihar, Patna. -------- Respondents ------------------- 2 21.12.2011 Having heard learned counsel for the parties and taking into account that the school, in question, in which the petitioner is said to be working, is a private school, functioning only in the campus of the Magadh University, the prayer made by the petitioner for a direction for payment of salary to the Managing Committee of a private school must be held to be misconceived, inasmuch as, no writ can be issued to a private body. This aspect of the matter stands settled by a Division Bench judgment of this Court in the case of Chandra Nath Thakur Vs. The Bihar Sanskrit Shiksha Board & Ors. reported in 1999(1)PLJR 529. That being so, this application is not maintainable and is accordingly dismissed. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
