Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. The Commissioner-cum-Secretary, Human Resources Department, Government of Bihar, Patna. 3. The Director, Primary Education, Government of Bihar, Patna. 4. The Regional Deputy Director, Patna Division, Bihar, Patna. 5. The District Magistrate, Nalanda. 6. The District Superintendent of Education, Nalanda. 7.

Shyam Nandan Mishra, S/o Late Bindeshwari Prasad at present posted as Incharge Headmaster, Girls Middle School, Karai Parsurai, Hilsa, Nalanda. …. …. Respondents ----------- 2. 3.3.2009. Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that based on a direction issued on 4.3.2008 vide letter No.956 issued by the District Superintendent of Education, Nalanda he has been compelled to hand over the charge to one Shyam Nandan Mishra, who is junior to the petitioner. The petitioner is being forced to work under his junior and his prayer for deciding the seniority issue made before the District Superintendent of Education, Nalanda at Biharsharif has not been acted upon so far. From the writ application itself it seems that some steps have been taken in this regard but no finality seems to have been reached. Keeping in mind the dispute and the general peace and proper administration of the school it is desirable that this issue must be decided at the earliest by the District Superintendent of Education. The writ application stands disposed of with a direction - 2 - upon respondent no.6, the District Superintendent of Education, Nalanda that he shall look into the service records of the petitioner as well as the said Shyam Nandan Mishra and give them an opportunity of hearing and decide the issue within a period of three months from the date of communication/production of a copy of this order. This writ application is disposed of with above direction. Pawan/- (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
