Mr. Subhash Upadhyaya, Brief Holder for the State of Uttarakhand. Ms. Seema Sah, Advocate for respondent no. 5. Hon’ble Sudhanshu Dhulia, J. (Oral) 1. Heard Mr. Pawan Mishra, Advocate for the petitioner, Mr. Subhash Upadhyaya, Brief Holder for the State of Uttarakhand and Ms. Seema Sah, Advocate for respondent no. 5. 2. The petitioner is an educational institute which, inter alia, imparts education for a certificate course known as “Vidya Ratna” which the petitioner institute considers as equivalent to high school certificate. The Government of Uttarakhand though denies it and in view of the Government Order dated 18.6.2008 (Annexure No. 5 to the writ petition) the Uttarakhand School Education Board has given a show cause notice to the petitioner that under what authorities they are issuing such a certificate. It is this show cause notice which is under challenge before this Court. 3. Without going into the merits of the matter, since it is only a show cause notice, the petitioner must explain reasons before the concerned authority as to the validity of the certificate being granted by them. The present writ petition therefore in any case is premature. 4. With the observations made above, writ petition is dismissed. 5. No order as to costs. (Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.) 7.12.2011 Avneet
