IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.450 of 2008 NAND LAL DAS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- For the appellant : Mr. Jai Prakash Verma, Advocate ------ P R E S E N T Hon'ble the Chief Justice & Hon'ble Mr. Justice Kishore K. Mandal --------- Dated, the 13th August, 2008. There appears to be some merit in the contention of the counsel for the appellant that the appellant did not seek a direction for his continuance as Lok Shikshak as observed by the Single Judge in order dated 21st August, 2007. 2. However, from the prayers made in the writ petition, we are satisfied that no relief could be granted to him. The petitioner (appellant herein) sought for a direction to be issued to the respondents to appoint him as Panchayat Shikshak pursuant to the decision taken in the meeting on 28th August, 2005 by Sukh Suvidha Samiti constituted by Gram Panchayat Raj, Bishambharpur. The counsel does not dispute that now Bihar Panchayat Prarambhik Shikshak Niyamavali, 2006 has come into operation. Obviously, all appointments have to be made in accord - 2 - with the rule and not de hors. 3. Letters Patent Appeal is dismissed in limine. R.M. Lodha, CJ Kishore K. Mandal, J. Anil/
