IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12809 of 2009 SHASHI BHUSHAN MISHRA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 02. 07.10.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The facts of the controversy had been adequately noticed in the earlier orders of this Court in C.W.J.C. Nos. 5401 of 2009 and 5308 of 2009. The issue relates to grant of School Code Number. After the petitioner filed his application before the authorities concerned, the District Superintendent of Education by his order dated 18.07.2009 declined to grant the Code Number for reasons contained in his order. It is the case of the petitioner that he preferred an appeal before the Director, Primary Education on 22.07.2009 and in pursuance of which the Director, Primary Education by an order dated 29.07.2009/30.07.2009 has directed the District Superintendent of Education to grant School Code Number to the petitioner. Learned counsel for the State submits that it does not appear from the order of the Director that it has been passed after consideration of the order of the District Superintendent of Education dated 18.07.2009. The issue now remains purely as a question of 2 fact that if the order of the District Superintendent of Education has been interfered with by the Director or not. If it has not been interfered with by the Director, the petitioner can have his remedy before the Director himself. If the Director has interfered with the order of the District Superintendent of Education, the order of the Director is required to be complied. The matter is therefore remitted to the Director, Primary Education, Department of Human Resources for final appropriate decisions in accordance with law on issues of facts as noticed above within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt of the production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed of. Shageer (Navin Sinha, J)
