IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4307 of 2009 Mahant Ramakant Das . Versus The Bihar School Exam.Board & Ors . ----------- 2. 26.07.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and for the Bihar School Examination Board (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Board’). The petitioner is stated to be a donor member of the Mahant Ramakant Das College, Meghaul, in the District of Begusarai. He is aggrieved by the order dated 18.4.2008 passed by the Board recognizing respondent no. 5, as the authorized Principal of the Ad hoc Managing Committee constituted by the Board till the Constitution of a Regular Managing Committee. One of the questions raised on behalf of the petitioner inter alia is that after repeal of the Bihar Intermediate Education Council Act by the Bihar Intermediate Education Council (Repeal) Act, 2007, the Board does not have the power to interfere with the Constitution of the Managing Committee for an affiliated institution. Learned counsel for the Board despite his best efforts has not been able to convince the Court from the provisions of the Repeal Act that the Board on 18.4.2008 possessed the power in law to issue such directions. However, the adjudication of the writ application 2 required issuance of notice first to respondent no. 5 also. The petitioner then presses for stay of the impugned order dated 18.4.2008. At this stage, learned counsel for the Board submitted that keeping in mind the larger interest of the students concerned irrespective of who the claimant was, the petitioner or respondent no. 5, he proposes to advice his client to have a re-look into the order dated 18.4.2008 in view of the legal provisions of the Repeal Act. The Court appreciates the very fair stand taken by the counsel for the Board which shall not only be in the interest of the students concerned but shall also hopefully shorten litigation. However, the Court does consider it proper to observe that the Board shall take such fresh decision in accordance with law within a maximum period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order before it by the petitioner, but after granting due hearing both to the petitioner and respondent no. 5. The writ application stands disposed with the aforesaid directions. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
