WP(C) 4576/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE I.A. ANSARI Heard Mr. A.M. Barbhuiya, learned counsel, for the petitioners, and Mr. B. Chakr aborty, learned counsel, for the respondent Nos.1, 2 and 4. Heard also Mr. Barma n, learned Govt. Advocate, for the respondent No.3. The petitioners are various venture schools, which have, with the help of this w rit petition, made under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, sought for is suance of directions to the respondents to provide to the petitioner schools fin ancial assistance. Appearing on behalf of the respondent Nos.1, 2 and 4, Mr. Chakraborty, learned S tanding Counsel, Education Department, submits that in terms of the Government’s present policy, the scheme, for granting financial assistance to venture school s, has been discontinued with effect from 01.04.2011. This position could not be disputed on behalf of the writ petitioners. In view of the fact that this writ petition demands or seeks granting of financi al assistance on an assumption that the scheme, for granting of financial assist ance to the kind of schools, as the petitioners, is continuing, and since the re spondents do not have the scheme in force, it is not possible, in law, for the p etitioner schools to ask for a direction to be issued to the respondents to gran t financial assistance to the petitioners. Viewed thus, it is clear that the pre sent writ petition cannot be maintained. The petitioners shall, however, remain at liberty to file appropriate writ petition, if so advised, challenging the dec ision of the Government as regard discontinuance of their earlier scheme of gran ting financial assistance to the venture schools. Confronted with the situation, Mr. Barbhuiya, learned counsel for the petitioner s, seeks to withdraw this writ petition with liberty to the petitioners to appro ach this Court with appropriate application, in future, if so advised. Considering the matter in its entirety and in the interest of justice, this writ petition is disposed of on being withdrawn by the petitioners with liberty gran ted to them to approach this Court with appropriate application, in future, if s o advised.
