PRINCIPAL, JAWAHAR NAVODAY VIDYALAYA, BARUN, AURANGABAD. ………………RESPONDENTS. ----------- 7 07.10.2010 Petitioner has filed this writ application for a direction to the respondents to reimburse bills to the tune of Rs.91,225/- which the petitioner claimed that he, as an NCC Officer in Jawahar Navoday Vidyalaya, Baroon, Aurangabad, had spent during the year 2004 to 2007 under different heads. The bills are annexed as Annexures-1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. From the Annexures, it appears that against the bills which were prepared by the petitioner, letters were sent by the Incharge Principal of the School to the Commanding Officer, 13, Bihar Battalion 2 NCC for reimbursement of the amounts mentioned in the said letters. Learned counsel for the respondent nos.1 to 5 submits that any expenditure in respect of amount spent during the course of NCC training in the School has to be paid by the Jawahar Navoday Vidyalaya Samittee and the Directorate only reimburses amount to the Samittee. The individual bills are not paid by the Directorate. Therefore, they are not liable to entertain the said letters of the Principal. This stand of the learned counsel for the respondents is not being disputed by learned counsel for the petitioner. Learned counsel appearing for respondent nos. 6 and 7 submits that the record of Samittee does not show that any authorization was issued in favour of the petitioner to spend those amounts. He also submits that the letter of the Principal does not show that these amounts were actually spent by the petitioner during the course of NCC training in the School which is being sought to be reimbursed after ex post facto authorization. 3 In view of the stand of the learned counsel for the respondents, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he will advise the petitioner to approach the Incharge Principal, who had issued the said letters, as annexed with the writ application, or the present Principal to forward the bill of expenditure made by the petitioner, after due verification and certification of the same to the Jawahar Navoday Vidyalaya Samittee for its approval and sanction. The submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is well founded and the petitioner may act accordingly. The writ application is disposed of. Arvind/ ( J. N. Singh, J.)
