IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3703 of 2010 1. NOORUL HODA ANSARI S/O LATE MD. HAQUIK ANSARI R/O MEGHWAL MATHIA, P.S.- RAMNAGAR, DISTT.- WEST CHAMPARAN ( BETTIAH ) Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE PRINCIPAL SECRETARY DEPTT. OF HUMAN RESOURCES, BIHAR , PATNA 2. DIRECTOR, SECONDARY EDUCATION BIHAR, PATNA 3. DISTRICT MAGISTRATE WEST CHAMPARAN, BETTIAH 4. BIHAR STATE MADARSA BOARD, PATNA THROUGH ITS SECRETARY, BIHAR BEHIND PATNA MUSEUM, PATNA 5. SECRETARY, BIHAR STATE MADARSA BOARD BEHIND PATNA MUSEUM, PATNA 6. DISTRICT EDUCATION OFFICER WEST CHAMPARAN, BETTIAH ----------- 2. 17.9.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, for the State and for the Bihar State Madarsa Board. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits from the pleadings in Paragraph-10 specific to the issue that the impugned order dated 15.1.2010 at Annexures 6 and 7 vide letter No. 209 and order no. 210-13 interfering with the duly appointed managing committee was in violation of the principles of natural justice and no show cause notice was issued prior to the same. Counsel for the Board finds it difficult to satisfy the Court from the recitals in the impugned order that notice to show cause was issued and served, either that the petitioner refused to participate or the order was passed after consideration of the show cause. This Court additionally finds that the order is unreasoned and non-speaking. The submission is that the language in the order no. 210-13, itself demonstrates that it was interim in nature does not impress the Court. Even an interim order to the prejudice is required to comply the principles of natural justice. The letter no. 209 dated 15.1.2010 and order no. 210-13 dated 15.1.2010 of the Bihar State Madarsa Education Board is set aside. This does not preclude the Board from proceeding afresh in its wisdom in accordance with law, if so advised. The writ application stands allowed. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
