WP(C) 4567/2008 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B.K. SHARMA Heard Mr. A. K. Hussain, learned counsel for the petitioners as well as Mr. A.K. Goswami, learned Sr. counsel appearing for the respondent No. 6. I have also heard Mr. Deka, learned Standing counsel, Education Department. The three petitioners have filed this writ petition assailing the legali ty and/or validity of Annexure -III order dated 22.09.08 by which the Managing C ommittee of the Senior Madrassa under consideration was constituted by the Direc tor of Madrassa Education, Assam. While it is the case of the petitioners that s ince the Managing Committee was elected and constituted in a public meeting held on 27.07.2008, it was incumbent on the part of the respondents to recognise the said Managing Committee in acceptance of the resolution adopted in the said pub lic meeting. It is the case of the respondents that the Managing Committee has b een constituted strictly in terms of the Rules for Assam Aided Senior and Title Madrassas (Constitution of the Managing Committee in the State). In this connect ion, the respondents have also referred to letter dated 09.04.2003 Annexure-C t o the counter affidavit filed by the official respondents by which the Govt. of Assam in the Education (Secondary) Department directed the Director of Secondary Education, Assam to constitute the Governing Body of the Managing Committee of the Provincialised Madrassa/ Arabic Colleges as per the stipulations made therei n. On perusal of the aforesaid Rules and the letter dated 09.04.2003, there is nothing to indicate that the Managing Committee of the Senior Madrassa is to be constituted on the basis of the resolution adopted in public meeting. Rather it is provided in the said Rules that each Managing Committee shall consist one President, one Vice-President and one Secretary all of whom shall be nominated by the Govt. So far as other members of the Committee are concerned, the Rules i ndicate as to how they have to be nominated. The two donor members who have been elected in the public meeting have been included in the impugned Managing Commi ttee. Mr. Hussain, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that since the Managing Committee has been constituted on the behest of the Govt., the committe e has been constituted on pick and choose basis and on political consideration. His such submissions is without any challenge to the aforesaid Rules and the let ter dated 09.04.2003. In view of the above, I do not find any merit in the writ petition and a ccordingly, it is dismissed.
