IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13113 of 2009 MADARSA ANWAR-UL-ULOOM,ISLAMPU Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 12.10.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, the State and for the Madarsa Board. The prayer is for grant of recognition to the petitioner Madarsa as also grant-in-aid. The claim is based on an alleged inspection by the Member of the Madarsa Board dated 26.6.1980 followed by an inspection of the District Education Officer on 23.9.1990 and his report dated 21.11.1990. Recognition and grant-in-aid are not matters of right but to be considered in accordance with law. On the nature of the belated claim made in the writ petition after which events may have transpired on facts also with regard to the foundation of the very claim itself, no positive orders are possible at this stage of an explicit nature. If the petitioner applies afresh in accordance with law in the prescribed manner along with the necessary fee before the concerned authorities, let final decision on the issues be taken within a maximum period of six months from the date that such application is made provided the petitioner 2 itself cooperates. It is made clear that any such decision has to be taken to the satisfaction of the authorities themselves to be arrived at in accordance with law. The writ petition stands disposed. P.
