IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3770 of 2009 Brij Bihari Prasad Sharma &Ors Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ----------- 2. 15.07.2011 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioners and the learned Counsel for the State. The petitioners are stated to have been imparted education at the Sharirik Shiksha Prashikshan College, Hazaribagh during the Sessions 1982-83, 1983-84, 1984-85 and 1985-86. They are aggrieved with the general notification issued by the State Government putting the aforesaid College in the list of unrecognized institutions. The contention on behalf of the petitioners from the document of the respondents themselves, more particularly letter dated 30.12.2006 of the Arts, Culture and Youth Department is that there had to be a difference between those Colleges which imparted education prior to promulgation of the NCTE Act under a then valid recognition and those who imparted education after the promulgation of the NCTE Act. The disqualification may apply to those colleges who attended the course post NCTE without valid recognition from the NCTE. The blanket listing of the institution prejudices the petitioner when they may also be classified as persons who passed out from an unrecognized institution. The writ application raises a purely administrative issue of a blanket notification issued contrary to government instructions. Two and a half years have been considered insufficient to file counter affidavit. Mandamus is issued directing the respondents to issue necessary corrigendum forthwith that the disqualification may apply to those who have attended the course post NCTE without valid recognition. Those who studied the course pre NCTE, under valid permission/recognition by the State Government are excluded from the same. Bureaucratic apathy cannot play with careers. The writ application stands disposed. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
