The State of Bihar 2. Bihar School Examination Board (Higher Education), Patna through its Secretary 3. Chairman, Erstwhile Intermediate Education Council now Bihar School Examination Board (Higher Education), Patna 4. Dr. Indal Singh Naveen, RKPLD Kisan College Bariarpur, Sitamarhi through the Incharge Principal. ..Respondents ----------- 3 21.11.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the Bihar School Examination Board (hereinafter referred to as the „Board‟). The writ petition was filed on 09.07.2010 after serving two copies on the counsel of the Board. The writ petition was taken up for the first time on 04.11.2011. The Board did not consider it necessary to utilize this period over one year three months to perform its constitutional obligation to file a counter affidavit and assist the Court in dispensation of justice. Nonetheless, adjournment was granted to the Board for a counter affidavit on 04.11.2011. It was noticed that in the limited nature of the controversy, no further adjournment shall be granted and the matter may be disposed on basis of materials on record, on the next date, if it was possible. Sri Mandal appearing for the Board again seeks adjournment. The limited relief sought is to add the name “ Dr. Indal Singh Naveen” as preceding the name of the college “ RKPLD Kisan College”. 2 Paragraphs 4 & 5 of the writ application specifically asserts that originally affiliation was granted in the latter name only. Subsequently, the Bihar Intermediate Education Council (hereinafter referred to as the „Council‟) permitted alteration of the name by addition of the former preceding the latter. A speaking order to that effect was issued on 17.10.2003 at Annexure-1 to the writ application in recognition of the changed name. The petitioner then asserts that necessary correction were made in the name of the institution as above in the revenue records also and rent receipts granted. Contrary to the aforesaid, the Board, the successor body to the Council persisted in releasing the documents with the name of the institution as “ RKPLD Kisan College” ignoring the preceding words. The writ application appears to be raising purely administrative issues thrust upon the Court in the form of litigation with no legal issue for adjudication at this stage, generated by apathy of the Board. If, what the petitioner be contends be correct, let the Secretary of the Board examine matters and pass appropriate reasoned and speaking order within a maximum period of four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order, before him, if not already done. Writ application stands disposed off. Md. Ibrarul ( Navin Sinha, J.)
