IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6174 of 2009 VIJAY KUMAR ANAND & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 18/5/2009 Heard counsel for the petitioners, counsel for the State as also counsel for the University. On the own showing of the petitioners, the order of expulsion by way of disciplinary measure has been taken by the authority of the private engineering college, namely, Maulana Azad College of Engineering & Technology which is a unit of Millat Education Society. Obviously, the said college or its authority cannot be said to be covered by the expression State or any other authority within the meaning of Article 12 of the Constitution of India. That being so, this application is not maintainable and the same is dismissed. The petitioners, however, if advised, may take recourse to the ordinary remedy of filing a civil suit.
