For Respondents:-Mr. H.P. Singh, G.A-6 2/ 18.11.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Petitioner has claimed that he is senior to Respondent No.6 and therefore the District Superintendent of Education has wrongly ordered for removal of petitioner as in charge Headmaster and giving charge of the said post to Respondent No.6. Considering the nature of the grievance and a submission that District Superintendent of Education has yet not decided inter se seniority dispute between the petitioner and Respondent No.6, the writ petition is disposed of without notice to Respondent No.6. The concerned District Superintendent of Education, - 2 - Saharsa-Respondent No.4 is directed to decide the claim of the petitioner that he is senior to Respondent No.6 and therefore entitled to be made in charge Headmaster of the school within the period of two months from the date of production/communication of a copy of this order. It goes without saying that for deciding such a dispute Respondent No.4 shall give notice to Respondent No.6. The writ petition is disposed of. perwez (Shiva Kirti Singh,J.)
