IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1500 of 2008 (1) Ramrati Kamla Kanya High school, Harnaut, PS Harnaut, district Nalanda through its President Sheo Kumar Pd. Sinha, village Murhari, PS Harnaut, district Nalanda. (2) Sheo Kumar Pd. Sinha, son of Late Badir Narain Lal, village Murhari, PS Harnaut, district Nalanda, President, Ramrati Kamla Kanya High School, Harnaut, Nalanda – Petitioners. Vs. (1) The State of Bihar, (2) The Principal Secretary, Human Resources Dev. Department, Bihar, Patna. (3) The Director, Secondary Education Department, Bihar, Patna. (4) The R.D.D.E. Patna Division, Patna. (5) The Dist. Magistrate cum Collector, Nalanda. (6) The Dist. Education Officer, Nalanda – Respondents. 6 30.3.2011 The petitioner is aggrieved by the fact that Ramrati Kamla Girls High School, Harnaut, Nalanda has not been recognized by the State Government despite several applications filed on behalf of the school for recognition. This matter relates to recognition of a school under the ‘Project Scheme’ of education taken up by the State Government as far back as in 1982. In the district of Nalanda the schools that were considered for recognition were the petitioner’s school i.e. Ramrati Kamla Kanya High School, Harnaut and Residential Girls High School, Harnaut. Eventually Residential Girls High School, Harnaut was selected for recognition and taken over by the State Government. The petitioner filed CWJC No. 3157/1989 challenging the notification by which the Residential Girls High School, Harnaut was recognized by the State Government. While 2 considering all aspects of the matter, this court did not interfere with the notification taking over the aforesaid school but merely observed that the petitioner may file an application for recognition which should be considered in accordance with law. The petitioner therefore filed an application for recognition. Several enquiry reports have been annexed in this writ petition. Eventually the State Govt. has rejected the application of the petitioner during the pendency of this writ petition vide Annexure ‘B’ which has not been challenged by the petitioner. It has been specifically stated that it is not possible for the Government to take over the school in question and bear the financial liabilities of the school, since the Government has already chosen a school for recognition and taken over one school in the area concerned. In view of the aforesaid decision, the State Government which is based on facts that there is already a school in the area, which has been chosen by the State Government to take over and run as a project school, I do not think that any further direction can be given in this matter. This writ petition is accordingly dismissed. haque ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
