IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.97 of 2010 KRISHNA BALLABH PD.SINHA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3 20.6.2011 This letter patent appeal has been filed by the Head Master of the Nadri Ganj Madhya Vidyalaya, raising a grievance that vide order dated 23rd July, 2009, the Government has changed the Drawing and Disbursing Officer under Sankalp No.3729 contained in Annexure-1. In C.W.J.C. No.12295 of 2009 the learned Single Judge after considering both the orders has held that the order is administrative in nature and it is for the Government to decide for its administrative convenience. We fully agree with the order passed by the learned Single Judge. The Government has full power under section 21 of the General Clauses Act to amend or modify the earlier Government order. Thus, the appeal is devoid of merit. Learned counsel for the appellant submitted that the subsequent order has been passed by an officer while the earlier order passed by the resolution was passed by the State Government. The argument is misconceived. Perusal of both the annexures even reveals that Annexure-1 of the writ petition which is the basis of the claim of the petitioner is also a departmental sankalp which is not supported by any constitutional provision while order passed in exercise of Executive power of the Government in accordance with the rules framed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India and order has 2 been passed by the officer is not an authenticated officer. Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. AnilKrSinha ( Prakash Chandra Verma, J.) (Aditya Kumar Trivedi, J.)
