IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CIVIL WRIT JURISDICTION CASE NO.16400 OF 2007 HARENDRA KUMAR PRASAD,S/O DIN DAYAL RAUT, R/O VILLAGE CHITRAWALIA, P.O. CHITRAWALIA, P.S. EKMA, DISTRICT CHAPRA(SARAN). …………………PETITIONER. VERSUS 1.THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE SECRETARY, EDUCATION, NEW SECRETARIAT, PATNA. 2.DIRECTOR OF SECONDARY EDUCATION, BIHAR, PATNA. 3.DISTRICT EDUCATION OFFICER, SARAN AT CHAPRA. 4.HEADMASTER, AMBIKA DALA HIGH SCHOOL, CHITRAWALIA, SARAN. ………………………RESPONDENTS. -------------- 02/ 22.12.2011 Heard counsel for the parties. The petitioner claims regularization of his services on the post of peon in Ambika Dada High School, Chitrawalia in the district of Saran. From the writ application, it is difficult to decipher as to whether the said school is a Government school or private School receiving financial aid from State Government, inasmuch as, if it is a Government School the power of appointment on the post of peon does not lie in the Headmaster and if it is Government aided School the Government’s committment is only for making payment of salary against the prescribed sanctioned strength. 2 Considering all these aspects, this Court would give liberty to the petitioner to file a representation before the Director of Secondary Education, who would look into all the aspects and take a final decision as with regard to the claim of the petitioner for his regularization of his service. If the petitioner would file such representation enclosing a copy of this order, the Director of Secondary Education shall take his final decision and pass a reasoned order after affording opportunity of hearing to the petitioner within a period of six months from the date of filing of such representation by the petitioner. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is disposed of. Ranjan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
