IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.15470 of 2007 SANJEEV KUMAR SANGAM Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2/ 4/7/2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner questions the denial of an appointment to him on the post of Siksha Mitra when it was given to another on 15.5.2005. The contract appointment was for a period of 11 months under the then existing procedures which would have come to an end on 15.4.2006. The petitioner claims to have filed a representation before respondent No.14 on 8.9.2005. This has led to an enquiry report of the District Superintendent of Education dated 28.3.2007. Much emphasis has been laid on an enquiry report of the District Superintendent of Education of Vaishali dated 28.3.2007 at annexure- 9 of alleged irregularities in the appointment. Learned counsel for the State rightly points out that the so called illegalities nowhere suggest of any wrong done to the petitioner. That wrongs may have been committed to others is of no avail to the petitioner in view of the statutory rules for eligibility and procedures for appointment having coming into force on 1.7.2006 when the representation has been filed long thereafter in November, 2007. In any event the contractual term in question having expired on 15.04.2006, the petitioner had no surviving cause of action on 1.7.2006 when the new Rules came into force. In view of the fact that an enquiry has already been held and - 2 - certain alleged illegalities have been found, this Court naturally expects that the respondents shall act in accordance with law in pursuance thereof. No relief can be granted to the petitioner at this stage. The writ application is dismissed but with directions. KC ( Navin Sinha,J )
