Pathak, S.C.C. ----------- 5. 15.03.2011 Having heard learned counsel for the parties as also taking into account the following three directions given in the earlier order of the Division Bench of this Court dated 11th September 2008 in CWJC No. 14003 of 2006:- “(i) The State Government shall draw up a plan (short term as well as long term) in ensuring establishment of sufficient 2 number of teachers training institutes in the State of Bihar for the purposes of imparting training to requisite number of candidates for being available for appointment as teachers for primary and secondary schools as prescribed in NCTE Act and the Regulations framed thereunder. (ii) With regard to thirty five teachers training institutions which are said to be not recognized by NCTE, we direct the state government and the concerned authorities to make up the deficiencies as early as possible and not later than 28th February, 2009 to enable NCTE to recognize these institutions and that the regular sessions commence in these thirty five institutions which are presently not recognized by NCTE, by 1st of April, 2009; (iii) In so far as thirteen training institutes which are not functional during this academic session, we observe that as represented by Additional Advocate General-III, these institutes must be functional with effect from 1st April 2009.”…. as also perusing the show cause filed on behalf of respondent-opposite party nos. 1, 2 and 3, we are constrained to record that the order of this Court has not been complied as yet in letter and spirit. Though Mr. Piyush Lall, learned A. C. to A. A. G. 1 has explained to us certain steps taken by the State Government but then in our view they fall much short of directions given by this Court. The order, in 3 question, highlighting the need of establishing institutions for teachers training, in fact, has to be considered with all seriousness and therefore we would give one more indulgence to the State Government and its officials to comply the aforementioned directions of this Court in letter and spirit within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. We hope and trust that this time the State Government and its authorities will not fail in taking required prompt action for complying the order of this Court dated 11.9.2008 in CWJC No. 14003 of 2006. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is disposed of. Kanchan/rishi (T. Meena Kumari, J.) (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
