BIHTA, DISTRICT- PATNA. ----------. For the petitioner: Mr.Arbind Kumar and Mr.Raj Kishore Prasad-1. For respondent no.6: Mr.Ram Chandra Lal Das. For the State: Mr.Arup Kumar Chongdar. 5. 11.11.2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondents including the State. It appears that the petitioner being a member of Home Guard is aggrieved by the decision taken by respondent no.6 Awadhesh Kumar, who has been described as General Secretary, Bihar Home Guards Swayam Sewak Sangh, Patna. The decision of respondent no.6 is clearly a decision by a private person in the capacity of General Secretary of the Association deciding to select a particular insurance company for the purpose of group insurance of Home Guards for a particular year. Learned counsel for the petitioner has informed this court that respondent no.6 has died and steps have to be taken for his substitution. In the facts of the case this court does not deem it necessary to grant permission to the petitioner to substitute the deceased respondent no.6 by his heirs. Clearly, the decision by respondent no.6 was that of a private person not amenable to writ jurisdiction. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed. Md.S. (Shiva Kirti Singh,J.) - 2 -
