IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3296 of 2011 1. Ramdeo Manjhi SON OF LATE SUKHLAL MANJHI 2. RAMESH MAHTO SON OF LATE GHEGHU MAHTO 3. RAM AYODHYA PRASAD SON OF LATE PRAGASH BHAGAT, ALL RESIDENTS OF VILLAGE BARWAT PASRAIN MUSAHARI TOLA, P.S. BETTIAH MUFASSIL DISTRICT WEST CHAMPARAN. Versus 1. The State Of Bihar 2. THE MEMBER BOARD OF REVENUE, BIHAR, PATNA. 3. THE BETTIAH ESTATE THROUGH ITS MANAGER, BETTIAH. ----------- 2 08/07/2011 The Court makes it clear that the prayer of the petitioner for a direction upon the respondents to dispose of their representations is not a certification with regard to the claim or their right for such a claim. The status of persons employed or engaged by a Court of Ward has to be governed by the law of the land on this issue. This Bench has had occasion to look into such matters in quite a detail in the earlier order regarding status of the employee in the case of pramod Kumar, but if the respondents want to extend benefits to these petitioners in their wisdom, the Court will not come in the way but refuse to give any categorical assertive - 2 - direction in favour of the petitioners. This writ application is dismissed with the liberty aforesaid. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
