RAMASHISH PRASAD S/O NAME NOT KNOWN TO THE PETITIONER THE PRINCIPAL, INTER MAHILA MAHAVIDYALAYA TEKARI, GAYA 11. THE PRINCIPAL, A.N.S. COLLEGE, TEKARI, GAYA ----------- 02. 01.10.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned counsel for the Bihar School Examination Board. The grievance in the writ petition is against the constitution of the ad-hoc governing body on the ground that it was in the violation of the principles of natural justice. The Court queried when the last governing body was constituted in accordance with law. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that it 2 was on or about in the year 1984. Paragraph-6 of the writ petition which mentions approval of the Board to the governing body of the college is silent with regard to dates. Regulation 8 of the Bihar Intermediate Education Council Act, the erstwhile predecessor body of the Board provides that the tenure of the governing body shall be three years. There is no material placed before the Court in the writ petition that a governing body existing in accordance with law has been dissolved during its valid tenure of three years. This Court is therefore not persuaded to interfere with the impugned order dated 28.10.2009 constituting an ad-hoc governing body. Learned counsel for the Board submits that necessary steps for constitution of a regular governing body shall be taken and completed within a maximum period of three months. This Court considers it proper to observe at this stage in the interest of the institution itself that the ad-hoc governing body shall not take any major policy and/or financial decision which shall be left for the regular governing body to be constituted. The application is dismissed. P.K. (Navin Sinha, J.)
