No 456 of 2021 passed by Hon'ble Division Bench of this Hon'ble Court and has also been affirmed vide Order/Judgement dated 15.01.2026 passed in S.L.P. (Civil) Diary No(s) - 66035/2025 by Hon'ble Apex Court, and also in the light of several other Orders/Judgements (Annexure P/10 and P/12) passed by Hon'ble Coordinate Benches of this Hon'ble Court.” 2. Counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have completed their in-service teachers training course of Diploma in Elementary Education (Face-to- Face/Regular) course in Sessions 2014-16, 2015-17 and 2016- 18 and they completed their course of in-service teachers training in the years 2017 and 2018 itself and the final examination of the said Sessions were conducted in the month of October, 2018 due to laches on the part of the respondent State authorities and there was no lapses on the part of the petitioners and, therefore, they are entitled to grant of such benefits of grade pay of trained teachers in the light of the judgment rendered by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court in the case of Kishor Kumar and others Vs. The State of Bihar & Ors. (CWJC No. 16165 of 2019) from the date of completion of their in-service teachers training courses. 3. It is next submitted that the issues have already Patna High Court CWJC No.3067 of 2026(2) dt.10-03-2026 6/8 been put at rest relying upon the judgment passed by the Co- ordinate Bench rendered in the case of Kishor Kumar (supra), a detailed order has been passed in the case of Manoj Kumar & Ors. Vs. State of Bihar & Ors. (CWJC No. 7938 of 2020), which squirely covers the case of these petitioners. 4. It is next submitted that against the order passed by the Co-ordinate Bench, the State authorities have preferred appeal before the Hon’ble Division Bench by filing LPA No. 456 of 2021 (The State of Bihar & Ors. Vs. Manoj Kumar & Ors.) and the Hon’ble Division Bench has affirmed the order 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 Patna High Court CWJC No.3067 of 2026(2) dt.10-03-2026 7/8 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, 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. It is further 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 Patna High Court CWJC No.3067 of 2026(2) dt.10-03-2026 8/8 rest, therefore, all the petitioners may be directed to file individual representation, giving their service profile with all supportive materials before the District Education Officer, Vaishali 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 District Education Officer, Vaishali 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 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. rishi/- (Ajit Kumar, J) U
