Respondents. ----------- 3. 24.09.2010 Having heard learned counsel for the parties and taking into account the basic submission of Mr. Pandey appearing on behalf of petitioner that the issue in question with regard to payment of house rent allowance for the teachers of Middle School Adampur where the petitioner is also posted, has already been decided by this court in the cases of teachers of the same school in CWJC No. 3023 of 1993 (Brij Nandan Prasad Yadav & Ors. vs. The State of Bihar & Ors.), this Court would give liberty to the petitioner to approach the competent authority, namely, the Deputy Development Commissioner (D.D.C.), Patna for redressal of his grievance with regard to payment of arrear and current amount of H.R.A. If the D.D.C, Patna would find that the case of the petitioner is fully covered by the ratio of decision of this 2 Court in the case of Brij Nandan Prasad Yadav (Supra) and the petitioner’s explanation for his being given back the House Rent allowance is sustainable in law, he would pass an order for payment of both arrears and current of House Rent Allowance as is permissible in the case of a teacher in the Government Middle Schools of Patna. With the aforementioned observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of. kanchan/- (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
