Fahdul Islam and Anr. v. The State Of Bihar and Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
Patna High Court CWJC No.13061 of 2017, decided 05-12-2025 by Alok Kumar Sinha, J. Madarsa appointment dispute: petitioners sought mandamus for appointment as Aalim and Peon in Madarsa Manjarul Olum, Parsa, Marzadwa, Madarsa No. 90/A, West Champaran, claiming placement in the merit list after interview on 25.12.2016 under advertisement (Annexure-1); respondents included the State of Bihar, Bihar State Madarsa Education Board and its Chairman, DM and SDO West Champaran, and the Madarsa Managing Committee. Merit list not enclosed with the writ petition; Court held relief could not be granted without it; writ application dismissed. Advocates: Anant Kumar Mishra (petitioners); Prabhakar Jha, GP-27 (State); Shahzad Hussan Khan and Aslam Ansari (Madarsa Board).
What did the court decide?
Since the merit list was not enclosed with the writ application, the Court could not ascertain whether the names of the petitioners figured in the merit list, and therefore the relief of appointment claimed by the petitioners could not be granted in the absence of the merit list.
