IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.38 of 1998 Md. Abdullah Ansari, Son of Late Saiyad Ansari, resident of Village-Parsauni Nath, P.S.-Baruraj, P.O.-Rampur, District-Muzaffarpur. –Petitioner. VERSUS 1. The State of Bihar through the Commissioner-cum-Secretary, Department of Education, New Secretariat, Bihar, Patna. 2. Director of Education, Primary-cum-Special Secretary, New Secretariat, Bihar, Patna. 3. District Superintendent of Education, Muzaffarpur. 4. Block Extension Education Officer, Kanti, Muzaffarpur. 5. Headmaster of the Primary School, Mahdeiya Masjid, P.S.-Sahebganj, District- Muzaffarpur. –Respondents. ----------- 04 31.08.2010 No one appears for the petitioner. Petitioner has filed this writ petition for payment of his salary for allegedly worked as a teacher. From the averments made in the writ petition and the impugned order, it is clear that the petitioner was absent without permission for continuously almost 10 years. Petitioner professed that he was mentally sick and had been receiving treatment at Ranchi Mental Asylum. The authorities by the impugned order have refused to make payment for all such period. They have clearly mentioned that as per State Government Rules the petitioner ought to have been dismissed long back on the ground of unauthorized absence for 5 years but even though petitioner was absent for almost 10 years such action was not taken and taking undue advantage thereof, the present writ petition has been filed. As no one appears for the petitioner and in view of the facts as noted above, I am not inclined to interfere in the matter. The writ petition is dismissed. Trivedi/ (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
