CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.15124 OF 2010 :{ 1 }: IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH DATE OF DECISION: MAY 04 ,2011 Para Medical Council, SAS Nagar, Mohali .....Petitioner VERSUS State of Haryana and others ....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgement? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? PRESENT: Mr. R. S. Bains, Advocate, for the petitioner. Ms. Shruti Jain, AAG, Haryana, the State. **** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner-Society has approached this Court through present writ petition mainly against the action taken by Vigilance Officer by visiting the Institution. The grievance is that the Vigilance Officer had visited the Institution between 6.8.2010 to 10.8.2010 and had taken into custody the necessary documents. Claiming that the petitioner has a right to run any business as his fundamental right and as such, he has filed this writ petition to challenge the action of respondent-Vigilance CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.15124 OF 2010 :{ 2 }: Officer to interfere in the running of the business by the petitioner- Society. The petitioner Society is running para-medical courses and Vigilance appears to have visited the Institution to ascertain if these courses are run with permission and affiliation or are simply being run without any authority. Reply has been filed on behalf of the respondents by Deputy Director, Medical Education and Research, Haryana. It is stated that Vigilance Officer has visited the Institution to ascertain whether the petitioner organisation has any registration with Haryana Government, where it is running number of Centres for teaching para-medical courses. The types of courses being run by the petitioner are recognized by the State Government as per the guidelines of Rural Health Division, Director General Health Services, Government of India, though it may not be a course affiliated to any Board or Council. Some of the courses are recognized by Technical Education Department and these may need affiliation. Academic affairs in the course of physiotherapy is regulated by the Academic Board of Indian Association of Physiotherapists. This stand is primarily taken to justify the visit of Vigilance to ascertain the authority under which the petitioner-Institution is running such courses. I have considered the submissions made by the counsel for the petitioner, who is seeking direction for restraining the respondents from interfering in the functioning of the petitioner- Society. Writ petition to seek such a relief, seeking restrained order CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.15124 OF 2010 :{ 3 }: for Vigilance or State would appear beyond the scope of writ. If the petitioner is aggrieved against any action being taken, which is not in consonance with law, the petitioner may have his remedy by filing complaint. Vigilance officials are performing their legal duties. The averments as made prima-facie do not reveal any breach of fundamental rights of the petitioner. The action of the petitioner in running the institutions of this nature may lead to misleading or fleecing of innocent public. Any order restraining the respondents may hinder the performance of their legal and administrative duties. Writ for restraining the respondents may not be maintainable as Vigilance or the State apparently are performing their legal and administrative duties, which may not call for any interference. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed. May 04,2011 (RANJIT SINGH ) khurmi JUDGE
