IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.132 of 2008 Pramod Kumar Choubey, aged about 47 years, Shri Janak Choubey, resident of Mohalla/ Village – Musharwa, P.O. – Musharwa, P.S. Sathi, District West Champaran…………………………………………….………..Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar. 2. The Secretary, Department of Education, Bihar, New Secretariat, Patna. 3. Director, Department of Primary Education, Bihar, New Secretariat, Patna 4. District Superintendent of Education, West Champaran, Bettiah 5. The Sub-Divisional Education Officer, West Champaran, Bettiah……………….Respondents ------ 2 23.08.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The school in question is admittedly still an added school. Therefore, the Managing Committee is still under control of affairs of the school. Petitioner’s claim is that his salary and other legal dues have not been paid since 01.04.1983. Obviously, the claim of the petitioner functioning as teacher of the school till now is difficult for this Court to accept. This writ application has been filed in 2008. That is almost 25 years after salary of the petitioner was admittedly stopped. Petitioner has to establish his status of teacher of the school first, for which appropriate remedy for him is by way of filing - 2 - of a suit for such declaration from the competent civil court. In exercise of writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, this Court cannot decide the said disputed question of fact. The writ application is dismissed. BT (J. N. Singh, J.)
