THE PRINCIPAL SECRETARY, PRIMARY , SECONDARY AND MASS EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, NEW SECRETARIAT , BIHAR , PATNA 3. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE SIWAN 4. SUB- DIVISIONAL OFFICER SIWAN 5. DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT EDUCATION SIWAN 6. DISTRICT EDUCATION OFFICER SIWAN 7. BLOCK EDUCATION OFFICER SIWAN ----------- 3. 28.01.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is stated to be the centre incharge of the Utpreran Kendra Shri Krishna Ojha Projects Girls High School, Tarwa, Paras. She is aggrieved by the show cause dated 24.9.2009 by which the functioning of the Utpreran Kendra Shri Krishna Ojha Projects Girls High School, Tarwa, Paras has been directed to be stopped and the equipment of the school for the benefit of the girl students have been directed to be set aside and not to be used. Counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the respondents. They seek to raise an issue beyond the show case that the school was wrongly 2 declared as a project school. No material has been placed on record in support of the same or any order annulling the status granted. It acknowledges that students were studying in the school but does not state what steps have been taken to protect their interest. After acknowledging the declaration of the status of project school it goes on to allege mala fides in administration. The counter affidavit is of no help in adjudication. At this stage, the writ petition appears to be raising purely administrative issues with regard to the running of the project school and the duty of the state to impart education at the primary level. The matter is referred to the Secretary, Department of Higher Education to examine matters appropriately and take executive action as deemed fit so that it continues to function as such in a manner that the students in school are not prejudiced in any manner. Let such decision be taken within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
