The petitioner has filed the present writ application for commanding the respondents to add the name of his late father in the name of Primary School, Gurumha. He asserts that since he had donated the land for the said school his request be accepted. The deed of gift is annexed as Annexure 1 to the writ application. From perusal of the same it is clear that when the gift was made in the year 1980 no such condition was attached with it. Furthermore, from the said gift 2 itself, it is apparent that school which is under the control of the Government was already running. In that view of the matter the petitioner cannot claim as a matter of right that the said school be named after his late father. However, in view of the fact that petitioner was sole donee on which the school has been constructed and it is not uncommon that the Schools, Colleges and other institutions are named after persons, request of the petitioner deserved to be considered by the appropriate authority. In that view of the matter let the petitioner represent before the Principal Secretary, Human Resources Development Department, Government of Bihar, Patna along with a copy of this order for naming the said school after his late father. If such a petition is filed the State Government shall consider the matter especially in the light of the observation made above in this order and decide accordingly. Before parting this Court could also like to indicate that persons who donate the land have a legitimate expectation that the next generations to come would remember their families and their ancestors who had given land for the public purpose without charging any money. In fact such a practice will also encourage others to come forward who make donations. With the above observations this writ application stand disposed of. Prakash (Ahsanuddin Amanullah, J.)
