Summary

Mayur Kumar filed a writ petition in the Patna High Court seeking a mandamus directing the State of Bihar and related authorities to appoint him to a post in the Ara Civil Court on compassionate grounds, commensurate with his educational qualifications. The petitioner argued that the authorities had a duty to consider his case for appointment. The petition was presented before Justice Partha Sarthy.
