CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE HARISH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 2 06-01-2026 Heard the parties.
2. The petitioner has invoked the jurisdiction of this Court seeking a direction upon the respondents to consider his grievance with respect to his posting as a Head Teacher in any of the Block for which he had submitted his option through his representation dated 02.04.2025 and 21.07.2025.
3. Learned Advocate for the petitioner submitted that after having successfully passed examination for Head Teacher
Patna High Court CWJC No.21014 of 2025(2) dt.06-01-2026 2/3 duly conducted by Bihar Public Service Commission, he was appointed and posted as Head Teacher in Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Awasiya Vidyalaya, Sheikhpura. On account of non- availibility of E-shiksha Kosh in the school, the petitioner felt difficulty to submit his option for choice posting and accordingly, he filed his representation before the concerned respondents on 02.04.2025 and subsequently on 31.07.2025, however, till date, the same has not been considered and the petitioner is discharging his duty in the school, which is allotted beyond his option for posting as submitted through his representation.
4. Learned Advocate for the State submitted that the petitioner was required to submit his option through E-shiksha portal, however, he failed to do so. Moreover, the petitioner cannot claim choice posting as a matter of right.
5. Having considered the submissions advanced by learned Advocate for the respective parties and taking note of the fact that the representation of the petitioner is pending
consideration before the respondent no. 2, this Court deems it apt and proper to dispose off the writ petition with a direction to the concerned respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner and bring to its logical conclusion in accordance with
Patna High Court CWJC No.21014 of 2025(2) dt.06-01-2026 3/3 law, preferably within a period of eight weeks’ from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
6. The writ petition stands disposed off.
