Pairu Murmu son of Budai Murmu, resident of Ramjanpur Santhali Tola PS Kahalgaon, District Bhagalpur …. Petitioners Versus 1. The State Of Bihar 2. The District Primary Education Department of Education and Human Resources, Bihar, Patna 3. The District Magistrate, Bhagalpur 4. District Superintendent of Education, Bhagalpur 5. Block Education Officer, Kahalgaon, District Bhagalpur ….. Respondents ---------------------------------- 03- 5/12/2011 Heard Mr. D.K.Tiwari, learned counsel for the petitioners, and Mrs. Namrata Mishra, learned Government Pleader no. 17 for the State. The writ petition has been preferred for a direction commanding the respondents to accord affiliation, and its legal consequences, to the Primary School at Santhali Tola, Rasmandal, Ramjanipur, Kahalgaon, in the district of Bhagalpur. It appears that the petitioners had moved this Court earlier in CWJC No. 9819 of 1995 seeking a direction to release adequate grant to run the school, and the same was disposed off with a direction that the 2 petitioners would be well advised to pursue the matter at the government level since in the absence of any legal right to claim the grant Court cannot pass any positive order. The petitioners are in the same position even today before this Court in the present proceeding. It is for the State Government to consider the matter with regard to affiliation to the school. 2. In that view of the matter, the writ petition stands disposed off with liberty to the petitioners to move before the Government with regard to their claim, which may be appropriately dealt with, in accordance with law. mrl (Ahsanuddin Amanullah, J.)
