Patna High Court

Wasi AkhtarversusThe State of Bihar

Decided
Disposal
DISPOSED

Holding

The Court held that, given the earlier binding judgments, the State must consider the petitioners' claims after they file individual representations, and therefore the writ petition is disposed with directions for compliance.

Summary

The petitioners, a large group of teachers who completed the Diploma in Elementary Education (D.El.Ed.) in 2017-18, sought a writ of mandamus directing the State of Bihar to grant them grade pay and related monetary benefits from the date of completion of their training. They relied on earlier judgments of the Patna High Court in Kishor Kumar (CWJC No. 16165 of 2019) and Manoj Kumar (CWJC No. 7938 of 2020), which had ordered the State to confer such benefits. The State argued that the matters were already settled and that the petitioners should file individual representations before the District Education Officers. The Court noted that the earlier orders were specific and binding, and directed the petitioners to submit their service profiles within six weeks, after which the concerned officers must decide within eight weeks. Accordingly, the writ petition was disposed of with these procedural directions, without granting a fresh mandamus.

Issues considered

  • The petitioners' entitlement to grade pay and other monetary benefits as trained teachers under the D.El.Ed. program.
  • Whether the State of Bihar is bound to implement the benefits as ordered in earlier judgments.
  • The appropriate remedy for the petitioners – mandamus versus procedural compliance by filing individual representations.

Subjects

  • grade pay
  • trained teacher
  • D.El.Ed.
  • mandamus
  • writ petition
  • education department
  • service benefits
  • Bihar

          passed by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court, which is being

          reproduced herein below:-

                               “-----5. It is to be noted that appellants-
                  State have not preferred LPA in Kishor Kumar and
                  Others (supra) case. On the other hand, they have
                  not taken note of specific words in the Kishor
                  Kumar and Others (supra) to the following extent:-
                               "The respondents have to take decision
                  granting benefit of trained scale to the petitioners
                  with effect from the date of completion of their
                  training i.e., May, 2017. Necessary decision in this
                  regard with all consequential monetary benefits
                  must be taken by the Director, Secondary Education
                  within a period of sixty days from date of
                  receipt/production of a copy of this order".
                                                         Underline Supplied
                               6. In this backdrop, appellants cannot take
                  decision of notional benefits when the order is very
                  specific to the extent that necessary decision in this
                  regard with all consequential monetary benefits
                  must be taken by the Director. The same decision
                  has been passed in number of cases including the
                  present case. The appellants have taken their own
                  time to publish the result with reference to
                  completion of training course in the month of May,
                  2017. For no fault on the part of the respondents,
                  denial of certain service and monetary benefits on
                  behalf of the appellants would be arbitrary,

                                          23/24




                  therefore, the appellants have not made out a case
                  so as to interfere with the impugned order of the
                  learned Single dated 01.02.2021 passed in passed in
                  CWJC No. 7938 of 2020.”
                      5. Lastly, it is submitted that against the order passed

          by the Hon’ble Divisioin Bench in LPA No. 456 of 2021 in the

          case of Manoj Kumar (supra), the State authorities have moved

          before the Hon’ble Apex Court by filing Special Leave Petition

          (Civil) Diary No(s) 66035 of 2025 and the Hon’ble Apex Court

          has also declined to interfere with the impugned order.

          Accordingly, the Special Leave Petition preferred by the State

          got dismissed.

                      6. On the other hand, counsel for the State submits

          that since the issues have already been adjudicated and put at

          rest, therefore, all the petitioners may be directed to file

          individual representation, giving their service profile with all

          supportive materials before the concerned District Education

          Officer, within a period of six weeks from today and, on filing

          of such representation with all supportive materials and the

          judgments referred herein above, it is expected that the

          concerned District Education Officer shall consider the

          grievances of the petitioners and on finding their claim to be

          justified in law and as also in consonance with the parameters
           Patna High Court CWJC No.5916 of 2026(2) dt.23-04-2026
                                                      24/24




                     fixed by the Hon’ble Courts in the judgment rendered in the

                     case of Manoj Kumar (supra), necessary order shall be passed

                     within a further period of eight weeks and if the petitioners are

                     found entitled to such benefits, the same shall also be extended

                     to them within the same period, as stated above.

                                 7.    With     the    aforementioned    observations   and

                     directions, the writ petition stands disposed of.



                                                                    (Ajit Kumar, J)
