IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11365 of 2006 SMT.MEENA KUMARI wife of Sita Ram Singh, resident of mohalla Chandpur Bela, P.O. G.P.O.,P.S. Jakkanpur, District Patna … Petitioner Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR, 2. Director, Primary Education, Government of Bihar, Patna, 3. District Magistrate-cum-Chairman, District Education Establishment Committee, Patna, P.S. & District Patna, 4. District Superintendent of Education, Patna Collectorate, Patna, 5. District Development Commissioner (D.D.C.), Patna, Collectorate, Patna, … .. Respondents For the Petitioner: Mr. Jagdish Prasad No. 1, Advocate For the State: Mr. Rajiv Kumar Singh,AC to GA VIII ----------- 2 11.03.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks direction for payment of house rent to him as admissible in law. In paragraph 11 of the writ application, a reference of the letter issued by the Deputy Development Commissioner allowing house-rent to the teachers working in school has been given, however, the same has not been appended with the writ application. In the absence of the aforesaid letter, it would be very difficult to pass any positive order in this writ application. However, this writ application is disposed with a 2 direction to the petitioner to file a representation before the respondent no. 4, the District Superintendent of Education, Patna within six weeks from today. Upon such representation having been filed by the petitioner, the respondent no. 4 shall consider and dispose of the same after considering the entitlement of the petitioner for house-rent on its own merit in accordance with law. It goes without saying that if the petitioner is found entitled for the house-rent, then such amount, which would be due to him, should be paid to him within one month thereafter. However, it is made clear that this Court has not formed any opinion on merit of the case. SC (Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J.)
