This petition under Article 226 of the Constitution is filed by one Bihar Madhyamik Shikshak Sangh and its President in public interest to seek parity of pay in respect of teachers appointed under Rules 6 & 8 of the Bihar District Board Secondary and Higher Secondary Teachers (Employment, Service and Conditions) Rules, 2006. The omnibus relief prayed for for the benefit of thousands of teachers without reference to the facts in respect of each such teacher is not maintainable nor in the name of public interest. The petition is, therefore, dismissed in limine. It is clarified that the aggrieved teachers may avail of the remedy under Article 226 of the Constitution or any other remedy available for redressal of individual grievance or redressal of grievance in representative capacity.
