The petitioner has prayed for quashing the order issued by the Regional Deputy Director, Education, Madhubani contained in memo No. 535 dated 23.06.2009 whereby respondent No. 5 has been made in-charge, Headmaster of the High School, Goth Parsahi, Madhubani in place of the petitioner. On perusal of the pleadings and different annexures annexed with the writ application, it transpires that after retirement of the Permanent headmaster, respondent No. 5 was made in-charge, headmaster, considering his seniority. At the time when respondent no. 5 was made in charge, the petitioner had no objection. Respondent No. 5 , subsequently, himself made a request to relieve him from the duties of in- 2 charge, headmaster on account of his ailment and next man in seniority should be made in charge. Petitioner being the next man to respondent no. 5 was made in charge as stop gap arrangement. Now it seems that respondent no. 5 has recovered from ailment and considering this situation, the Regional Deputy Director, Education, Madhubani issued an order contained in memo no. 535 dated 23.06.2009 reappointing the respondent no. 5 as in-charge , headmaster. There is no reason for petitioner having any grievance because he was authorized for a limited period and that period is now over. Considering these facts, that the petitioner has no claim for the post and considering his seniority, this application is dismissed. Akv/ (Mridula Mishra, J.)
