IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.9313 of 2002 SMT.SHAIL KUMARI SAH, wife of Sri Bodh Nr. Sah, presently posted as Headmaster Incharge, Saraswati Gupta Middle School, Nurpur Nath Nagar, P.S. Nath Nagar Bhagalpur, District Bhagalpur … Petitioner Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. The Commissioner cum Secretary, Secondary, Primary and Adult Education Department, Govt. of Bihar, New Secretariat, Patna 3. The Director, Primary Education, Govt. of Bihar, Patna 4. The District Superintendent of Education, Bhagalpur 5. The Area Education Officer, Sultanganj, Bhagalpur 6. Shyamdeo Yadav, Assistant Teacher, Sarswati Gupta Middle School, Nurpur Nathnagar, P.S. Nath Nagar, District Bhagalpur … Respondents. ----------- 3. 21.6.2010 No one appears for the petitioner. Counsel for the State is present. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application while she was in active service was made to the following effect: “This writ petition is for the issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari, for quashing the office order, issued vide Memo No. 1585 dated 10.7.2002 by the District Superintendent of Education, Bhagalpur (respondent no.4) whereby and whereunder, a junior teacher to the petitioner has been made in- charge Headmaster of the Sarswati Gupta Middle School, Nurpur, 2 Nathnagar, Bhagalpur,” It is not in doubt that the petitioner having completed the age of superannuation in some time in the year 2006 has already retired from service. Thus, her grievance against the In-charge Headmaster must also have come to an end. In that view of the matter, while this writ application has become infructuous, this Court also must vacate the interim order passed on 14.8.2002 by virtue of which appointment of In-charge Headmaster was sought to be interfered with during the pendency of this writ application. That being so, this writ application having become infructuous is dismissed accordingly. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
