JUSTICE DR. ANSHUMAN ORAL JUDGMENT Date : 28-07-2025 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, learned counsel for the State, and learned counsel for the Bihar Education Project Council. 2. The present writ petition has been filed for quashing and setting aside the order dated 29.03.2025 contained in Memo No. 1217 issued by respondent No.4 and to quash the letter no.330 dated 03.03.2025 issued by respondent no.2. 3. Learned counsel for the Bihar Education Project Council has raised a preliminary objection and vehemently opposed the prayer made in the writ petition. He submits that the order under challenge is a policy decision of the Bihar Education Project Council. It is further submitted that no stigma has been cast upon any individual; rather, the termination was made purely as a matter of policy and is a termination Patna High Court CWJC No.11361 of 2025 dt.28-07-2025 3/3 simpliciter. 4. Upon perusal of the impugned order, it appears that the authorities found the services of the petitioner’s deceased husband and other similarly situated persons to be unsatisfactory, and accordingly, a collective decision was taken as part of a broader policy consideration. The nature of the termination has been treated as one simpliciter and not punitive in nature. 5. In view of the above, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the policy decision of the Bihar Education Project Council. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed.
