IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1718 of 2009 BIRENDRA PRASAD SINGH Versus THE B.R.A.BIHAR UNIVERSITY &ORS ----------- 2 3/2/2009 Heard counsel for the parties. In the opinion of this Court when earlier an identical matter has been settled by this Court in the case of Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University by a judgment of this Court dated 20th August, 2008 (Annexure-3), it was all the more necessary for the petitioner first to approach the appropriate authority for identical relief. From the writ application at least it does not transpire that the petitioner has approached for the same relief before the authorities of Baba Bhim Rao Ambedkar University. That being so, this writ application is pre-mature and in fact in absence of such demand this writ application is not maintainable as it is well settled that a writ of mandamus can only be issued when the demand for legal right has been made and the same has been refused. That being so, this application is 2 permitted to be withdrawn with a liberty to the petitioner to approach the authorities along with order of this Court and it is expected that if such representation is filed the same should be disposed of in accordance with law.
