IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12668 of 2009 2 17.9.2009 Ram Chandra Paswan, son of Dharai Paswan, resident of village- Navgawa, PS Ram Nagar, District West Champaran ...... Petitioner VERSUS 1. The State of Bihar 2. The State Project Director, Bihar Education Project Council, Bihar, Patna 3. The Deputy Director, Primary Education, West Champaran 4. The District Officer-cum- Chairman, Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, West Champaran 5. The District Education Superintendent, West Champran 6. Smt. Indu Tripathi, the District Gender Co-ordinator, cum Incharge, Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya, Bettiah, PS Bettiah, District West Champaran ..... Respondents ------- Heard the parties. Petitioner has preferred this writ petition in public interest. He has filed a representation contained in Annexure-4 which is said to be dated 16.7.2009 before the District Magistrate, West Champaran, Bettiah. Although that representation is by way of allegation against respondent no.6, who has been described as the District Gender Co-ordinator, cum Incharge, Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya, Bettiah, we are not concerned with a particular individual in this public interest litigation. It transpires from the representation that the Kasturba 2 2 Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya is a residential school for girl students which has been kept locked for some time on account of death of a boarder student some time earlier. The concerned authorities are expected to take suitable action so that the school may not remain closed and thereby deprive the students from getting education. In that view of the matter, the District Magistrate, West Champaran, Bettiah as well as other concerned authorities are directed to take suitable steps to ensure that the school functions smoothly in accordance with law. The writ petition is disposed of. (Shiva Kirti Singh, ACJ) (Jyoti Saran, J.) sk
