Maktab Mohammadpur School Singhiya Jamalpur, P.S. Kotwali, District Munger……………………Respondents ----------- 2. 23.08.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. From Annexure-1 it appears that the petitioner was appointed as Shiksha Mitra by order dated 19.02.2003. Annexure-2 shows that he went to join in the school on 20.02.2003 but he was not allowed to join there. Accordingly, petitioner filed a representation before the District Superintendent of Education, Munger on 25.2.2004. He went on filing representation after representation. After coming into force of the Bihar Panchayat Prarambhik Shikshak (Niyojan Avam Seva Sart) Niyamvali, 2006, all the posts of Shiksha Mitra stand converted into - 2 - Panchayat Shikshak. Shiksha Mitras, who were continuing till cut-off date, only stood converted into Panchayat Shikshak and not others. Apparently, petitioner could not join and never functioned as Shiksha Mitra even for a day. Against the alleged non-joining, this writ petition has been filed by petitioner in 2008 after the Rules came into force. Hence, now petitioner can only be considered for the post of Panchayat Shikshak as a fresh candidate in accordance with law. No claim of the petitioner survives for his non- joining as Shiksha Mitra. Besides, the writ application suffers from enormous delay and laches. The same is, accordingly, dismissed. BT (J. N. Singh, J.)
