Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
In consolidated writ petitions, the Patna High Court dismissed challenges against the Bihar Education Project Council deciding to rename 'Part Time Teacher' posts. The Court held that the appointments were contractual, so petitioners have no substantive right to continue and the dispute is not amenable to writ jurisdiction.
What did the court decide?
No mandamus will be issued to enforce rights that do not exist; the petitions are dismissed.
