Respondents ====================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner : Mr. Sunil Kumar, Advocate. For the State : Mr. Shashank Shekhar Jha, AC to GP-22 ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAMESH KUMAR DATTA ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAMESH KUMAR DATTA) 2 22-12-2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The writ application has been filed by the Zila Prathmik Shikshak Sangh, Rohtas for a direction upon the respondents to post a Headmaster in a Middle School under Karakat Block and authorize him as the Drawing and Disbursing Officer of the Primary/Middle Schools of the said block. In this regard reference was made to the fact of one Srinath Singh having applied for being made 2 Headmaster in the Middle School, Gorari under the said block and if the same is done he may be made Drawing and Disbursing Officer for the Primary/Middle schools within the block in question. Learned counsel for the State submits on the basis of written instructions received from the District Programme Officer (Estt.), Rohtas (Sasaram) that considering the situation that there being no regular Headmasters in the schools within the Block, the Block Education Officer, Karakat has been made the Drawing and Disbursing Officer at present and at the next meeting of the Establishment Committee the Headmaster would be posted within the block and authorized to function as the Drawing and Disbursing Officer. In view of the aforesaid submission of learned counsel for the State, the writ application appears to have become infructuous. It is accordingly dismissed as infructuous. The respondents however, are directed to ensure that the assurance given by them to the Court is taken to its logical end by posting a regular Headmaster within the block and authorizing him to perform the functions of Drawing and Disbursing Officer of the 3 Primary/Middle schools within the block within a period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
