IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.7371 of 2004 MEENA SHARMA, DAUGHTER OF LATE VIJAY SINGH, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE SARVAN, P.O. GAURKHARI, P.S. VIKRAM, DISTRICT PATNA WORKING AS TEACHER IN VIKAS VIDYALAYA, MITHAPUR, PATNA. ---- PETITIONER Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR. 2. THE SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, BIHAR, NEW SECRETARIAT, PA TNA. 3. THE DIRECTOR, DEPARTMENT OF PRIMARY EDUCATION, BIHAR, NEW SECRETARIAT, PATNA. 4. DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION, PATNA COLLECTORATE COMPOUND, PATNA.---- RESPONDENTS ----------- 4 11.3.2011 The petitioner claims that Vikas Vidyalaya situated in Mithapur, Patna is an elementary school which is recognized by the State Government and claims that the State Government should grant financial help and monetary benefit to the teachers of the school. As many as 146 schools had filed a writ application before this Court which was disposed of by a common order reported in 2007 (Supp.) PLJR 337. This Court has given direction as to how this matter ought to be considered. The order and judgment of this Court passed in the aforesaid case would be applicable to the petitioner as well, and as such the petitioner would be at liberty to approach the concerned Committee for grant of reliefs claims by them. 2 Counsel for the State on the other hand submits that there is no such concept of aided non government schools. Only minority schools have been granted aid by the State Government. All these aspects will obviously have to be considered by the State Government and the Committee on the basis of the policy decisions taken by the State Government regarding such case. This writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observation. Sanjay ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
