IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8269 of 2002 ARVIND KUMAR SINGH, son of Sri Vishwanath Prasad Singh, resident of village-Bhagwanpur, P. S.- Bhagwanpur, District- Vaishali at Hazipur, at present posted as Assistant Teacher (Science) in Ishwariya Sanskrit Madhya Vidyalaya Bhagwanpur, District- Vaishali at Hazipur… Petitioner Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR through the Secretary (Primary Secondary and Adult Education Department) Government of Bihar, Vikas Bhawan, Patna. 2. The Special Director, Secondary Education Government of Bihar, Vikas Bhawan, Patna. 3. The Secretary, Bihar Sanskrit Shiksha Board, West Boaring Canal Road, Patna. 4. The District Education Officer, Vaishali at Hajipur. 5. Sri Kamal Prasad Tulsiyan, Secretary of the Managing Committee, Ishwariya Sanskrit Madhya Vidyalay, Bhagwanpur, in the District of Vaishali at Hajipur. 6. Sri Chandi Sharan Sharma, son of Sri Deo Dutt Sharma, Assistant Teacher Ishwariya Sanskrit Madhya Vidyalay Bhagwanpur in the District Vaishali at Hajipur. … Respondents ------- 7. 21.06.2010 No one appears for the petitioner. Counsel for the Bihar Sanskrit Shiksha Board and private respondent no. 6 are present. The prayer of the petitioner is virtually for payment of salary on the basis that he is a duly appointed science teacher of a recognized Sanskrit school in which the payment of salary is made through grants received from the State Government. From the enclosure to the writ petition as also supplementary affidavit it would become clear that the 2 appointment of the petitioner was never recognized by Bihar Sanskrit Shiksha Board inasmuch as no approval of his service was accorded. That being so, the Board cannot be directed for payment of salary because such payment can only be made to those teachers whose services has been recognized by the Board. The petitioner’s claim for payment of salary against Managing Committee cannot be gone into in a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. That being so, this Court would find no merit in this writ petition and accordingly the same is dismissed. kanchan/ (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
