District Superintendent of Education, Patna. 4. Block Development Officer, Bikram, Block Bikram, District Patna. 5. Gorakhari Gram Panchayat, Bikram Block District Patna through the Mukhia. 6. Mukhia, Gorakhari Gram Panchayat, Block Bikram District Patna 7. Secretary, Gorakhari Gram Panchayat, Block Bikram District Patna………………………………….Respondents ---------- 2 17.11.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the State. On her own showing, it appears that petitioner was appointed as Shiksha Mitra in March, 2003. She fell ill in September, 2003 and discontinued in the school. Thereafter when she went to join in January 2004, she was not allowed to join. Hence, she has filed this writ application in 2008 for a direction to the respondents to allow her to resume her duty in the school. Appointments of Shiksha Mitra were used to be made on contract basis and 2 contract for appointment did not provide for any leave for any purpose. Even if petitioner genuinely fell ill and discontinued in the school, her contract for 11 months ended in February, 2004. Hence she had not rendered satisfactory service during the period of her contract for 11 months, and as such her contract of service could not be renewed. Therefore, respondents rightly refused her to join her service. This Court does not find any merit in the claim of the petitioner that any right had accrued to her on the basis of initial contract. Hence, no mandamus can be issued to the respondents in the matter. This writ application is, accordingly, dismissed. BT (J. N. Singh, J.)
