Respondents. ================================================ Appearance: For the petitioner: Mr Yogesh Chandra verma, Sr. Advocate. For the respondents: Mr Prashant Pratap, SC XVII. =============================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE AND HONOURABLE MR JUSTICE JYOTI SARAN ORAL ORDER (Per : HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE) 2. 17.08.2010. Heard the learned Advocates. The petitioner, claiming to be a social worker, is aggrieved by the Government decision dated 26.05.2010 to transfer the functions of National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme from under the Rural Works Department to the Rural Development Department. Learned Advocate Mr Yogesh Chandra Verma has appeared for the petitioner. He has submitted - 2 - that the action of the State Government is contrary to law. The earlier proposal made by a three men committee including the Principal Secretary to the State of Bihar has been undone by the aforesaid communication issued by the Principal Secretary to the Government of Bihar. We hardly see any cause of action. Which department should govern the project is purely an administrative function of the State. The High Court in exercise of its power under Article 226 of the Constitution need not interfere in the matter. Petition is disposed of. Dilip ( R.M. Doshit, CJ ) ( Jyoti Saran, J )
