Versus 1. The State of Bihar, through the Principal Secretary-cum- Commissioner, Department of Human Resource Development, Government of Bihar, Patna. 2. The Principal Secretary-cum-Commissioner, Department of Human Resource Development, Government of Bihar, Patna. 3. The Secretary, Panchayat Raj, Government of Bihar, Patna. 4. The Secretary, Department of Primary Education, Government of Bihar, Patna. ----------- 04. 31.07.2009 After hearing the parties this Court comes to the conclusion that the petitioner which is “Bengali Association” and is campaigning the cause of preservation of Bengali language in government schools wherever there may be need to teach students in Bengali is more or less satisfied with the policy decision of the State Government dated 19.02.2008 which has been annexed as Annexure-4 to the writ petition as well as Annexure-B to the counter-affidavit of the State Government. The State policy decision has been taken by the State Government pursuant to observation of this Court made earlier at the instance of the petitioner in CWJC No. 10258 of 2006 disposed of on 12.04.2007. The main grievance of the petitioner now is lack of follow up action to implement the policy as appearing in the - 2 - order of the Human Resources Department, Government of Bihar dated 19.02.2008 (Annexure-4). In the writ petition materials have been annexed to show that requirement to cater for sizable number of Bengali students is more or less confined to district of East Champaran and Bhagalpur or may be at some other places also as per details available in Annexure-5. We are of the view that now it is for the Principal Secretary of the Human Resources Department, Government of Bihar to find out as to what shall be the best means for implementing the earlier decisions dated 19.02.2008. Suitable instructions for enforcement of the said policy decision particularly in the required areas should be issued by the department so that its policy decisions are not confined only on paper but implemented on the ground level also. Such action should be taken expeditiously, preferably within a period of two months from today. The writ petition is disposed of. Vikash/- (Shiva Kirti Singh, ACJ.) (Anjana Prakash, J.)
