The present writ petition has been filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India by the petitioner seeking a direction for allowing him to work as a deed writer on compassionate ground in the District of West Champaran. The petitioner claims that late Amin Hasan, father of the petitioner, was issued a licence for deed writing by the competent authority and he died on 26.10.1997. It is further claimed that petitioner had worked under his father since 1993 and, therefore, he may be permitted to work as deed writer under the provisions of Bihar Deed Writer Licensing Rules, 1996 (hereinafter referred to as the rules), framed 2 under the provisions of the Indian Registration Act, 1908. 3. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of respondent nos. 3 and 4, wherein it has stated that the deed writer is not a public post rather it is a profession and licences are issued under the provisions of rule 1996. It has been specifically claimed by the respondents that petitioner does not fulfil the requisite conditions for issuance of licence under the provisions of the rules. Admittedly, the petitioner has not taken the exam conducted under the rules. 4. In the aforesaid fact and circumstances, no useful purpose would be served by keeping the matter pending any longer as no relief can be granted to the petitioner in the present proceeding. The petitioner, if so advised, on fulfilling the conditions required under the provisions of rules, may approach the proper authority for issuance of licence for deed writing, which shall be considered in accordance with law. 5. With the aforesaid observation and direction the present petition stands dismissed. Anand Kr. ( Birendra Prasad Verma, J.)
