       CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR UPADHYAY
                           ORAL JUDGMENT

Date : 21-02-2018 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State.

Since all the writ applications involve the same question of fact and law, with the consent of learned counsel for the parties, all the writ applications are disposed of by this common order.

The petitioners have prayed for a direction to the respondents to pay salary to them, who are working as Headmasters and Assistant Teachers in different Districts under the Koshi Division. Their claim is based on the fact that physical verification was done by the respondents for the purpose of taking over of the schools under the scheme of Bihar Elementary Schools (Taking Over and Control) Act, 1976.

It is not in dispute that neither the schools have been taken over till date by the State Government nor the services of the petitioners of this batch of writ petitions have been taken over by the State Government. In fact, in the year 1993 the Cabinet took a conscious decision not to take over any school and the State Government is uniformly maintaining the stand and after a decision of the Government in the year 1993, no school was taken over and as such the petitioners cannot claim, as a matter of right, Patna High Court CWJC No.10261 of 2017 dt.21-02-2018 34/35 take over of the schools in question under the scheme of Bihar Elementary Schools (Taking Over and Control) Act, 1976.

After 2006 the State Government took a policy decision to create posts of Panchayat Shikshak and a large number of teachers have been appointed as Panchayat Shikshak under the scheme of 2006 Rules, which was amended from time to time.

Learned counsel for the petitioners placing reliance on the report of the District Education Officer cum District Programme Officer, Establishment, Saharsa and other officials of the Education Department at the district level in the Koshi Division has submitted that once the respondents have made physical verification of the schools in question, they are under obligation to take over the schools and recognize the services of the petitioners working in those schools and ensure payment of salary.

In the counter affidavit stand has been taken by the respondents that the petitioners belong to privately managed schools, which are unrecognized private institutions and as such the present writ petitions for payment of salary is not maintainable. The physical verification of the private institution by the respondent-authorities does not create indefeasible right in favour of the petitioners for payment of salary or for taking over of the Patna High Court CWJC No.10261 of 2017 dt.21-02-2018 35/35 institutions in question under the scheme of the Take Over Act of 1976.

In the matter of policy decision scope of interference is very limited. The state Government took decision not to take over any school in the year 1993 itself and as such the Court is unable to issue any positive direction to the respondents in the present batch of writ petitioners either to take over of the institution or recognize the services of the petitioners, who are working in the privately managed institutions and make payment of salary.

In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, the Court is not inclined to issue any direction in favour of the petitioners as the Court cannot issue direction or mandamus to take over of the schools as no statutory right is either created under the Act or on physical verification of the schools for either take over or payment of salary which is enforceable in writ jurisdiction.

The writ petitions filed by the petitioners are devoid of merit. They are accordingly, dismissed.
