The State Of Bihar through its Secretary-cum- Commissioner, Secondary Education, Bihar, Patna 2. Director Secondary Education, Bihar , Patna 3. District Education Officer, Vaishali .....Respondents ---------------------------------- For the appellant: Mr. M. P. Shukla, advocate For the State: Mr. D. P. Choudhary, SC 2 Mr. Arjun Prasad Singh, AC to SC 2 ------------------------------ 4 09-12-2011 Heard learned counsel for the appellant and learned counsel for the State. The writ court has dismissed the writ petition preferred by the appellant after coming to a conclusion that he cannot get pay protection and benefit of past service rendered by him in a minority school in absence of any such provision in the service rules governing service under the State of Bihar which the appellant subsequently joined after leaving the service in a minority school. Learned counsel for the appellant gave out several details and developments to show that after 1978 the minority schools have been granted several benefits and are governed by several procedural 2 safeguards and, therefore, service in the minority school should be treated as service in the State. We are unable to accept this contention. We find no merit in this appeal. It is, accordingly, dismissed. BKS/- (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) (Shivaji Pandey, J.)
