IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.15175 of 2009 1. (SMT.) MAHAMAYA VERMA W/O (LATE) MAHESHWAR NATH VERMA R/O GANJ NO. 1 HOSPITAL ROAD, P.S.- BETTIAH SADAR, AT AND P.O.- BETTIAH (WEST CHAMPARAN) Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, BETTIAH (WEST CHAMPARAN) 2. THE S.D.O. (CIVIL) BETTIAH SADAR BETTIAH (WEST CHAMPARAN) 3. B.R. AMBEDKAR BIHAR UNIVERSITY, MUZAFFARPUR THROUGH ITS REGISTRAR 4. VICE-CHANCELLOR, B.R. AMBEDKAR, BIHAR UNIVERSITY MUZAFFARPUR 5. COMMISSIONER-CUM-SECRETARY, HUMAN RESOURCES DEPTT. (HIGHER EDUCATION) GOVT. OF BIHAR, NEW-SECRETARIAT, PATNA ----------- 2/ 26/11/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner claims to have been elected as the representative of the donor member for the M.N.M. Mahila College, Bettiah. Her claim is that she has been appointed as the Secretary by the ad hoc committee of the college constituted in the year-2000. The grievance is with regard to certain information and reports of the S.D.O. (Civil), Bettiah Sadar-cum-President of the ad hoc committee ignoring certain orders of the authority/courts of law which the petitioner perceives to be prejudicial to her interest since he has given directions with regard to certain others. This Court finds it peculiar that an ad hoc governing body is functioning for approximately nine years whereas the very nomenclature of the committee itself reflects that if is a temporary arrangement pending constitution of a regular governing body. Perhaps, the entire controversy is being generated by the deliberate continuance of an ad hoc committee with allegations and 2 counter allegations. If elections are held for a regular governing body, as required under the Universities Act, the academic environment of the college and for which purpose it was established will be fully facilitated. Keeping in mind the academic interest of the students studying in the college, this Court directs the S.D.O. (Civil), Bettiah Sadar to make available all necessary information to the Vice Chancellor of the B.R.A.B. University within a maximum period of two weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. If the Vice Chancellor requests for any further information from the S.D.O., he is obliged as a direction of this Court to make such information available within one week from the date he receives the communication from the Vice Chancellor. This Court requires the Registrar of the university to take all necessary steps in accordance with law so that elections for regular governing body of the college in question is held preferably within a maximum period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed with the aforesaid directions and observations. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
