IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11645 of 2008 ANITA KUMARI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- For the petitioner: Mr. Brajesh Kumar For the respondent no.6 : Mr. K.K.Jha P R E S E N T Hon'ble the Chief Justice And Hon'ble Mr. Justice Kishore K. Mandal --- Dated, the 19th August, 2008 This writ petition is misconceived and frivolous. As a matter of fact, the Bar Council of India has disapproved affiliation of Munshi Singh College, Motihari, Bihar. This is reflected by the communication dated 22nd March, 2006 addressed by the Secretary of Bar Council of India to the Registrar, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Muzaffarpur. The said communication reads thus: “The Registrar Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University Muazffarpur Bihar – 842001 Sub:- DISAPPROVAL OF AFFILIATION OF Munshi Singh College, Motihari, Bihar. Sir, The Bar Council of India at its meeting held on 3rd March 2006 on the recommendation of Legal Education Committee made at its meeting held on 2 10th February 2006 considered the question of approval of affiliation of the above mentioned college in the absence of comments from your side in view of the fact that stipulated period of six weeks has been lapsed. After consideration Committee is of the view that in spite of reminders, no reply has been received from your side, the inspection report submitted by inspection team may be accepted and approval of affiliation of the above mentioned college be declined. This is for your information and appropriate action in the matter. Yours faithfully, (S. Radhakrishnan)” Secretary 2. The inspecting team further observed that the institution be directed not to admit students for the academic session 20005-2006 onwards till approval is not given by the Bar Council of India. 3. The inspecting team observed thus: “We were shown the newly constructed separate wing for Law College in the Vacant land of the General College. The Principal of the College is still functioning as the Principal of Law faculty. No separate qualified Principal for Legal education has been appointed. No permanent teachers qualified holding LLM/NET qualification has been appointed as yet. No separate library for law has been created nor books as per Rules are available. Though there is need of a Law College in the district but University and Government appear to be not serious to bring the Law teaching upto the standard prescribed by Rules. In this view of the matter, we are of the opinion that the Registrar of the University be called upon to show cause as 3 to why not the law faculty be closed till the College fulfills the following conditions: 1. Permanent qualified Principal is appointed. 2. At least 3 permanent qualified (LLM & NET) teachers are appointed. 3. Librarian qualified is appointed. 4. Books and journals as per Rules are purchased. At least books and journals worth Rs.2 lakhs is purchased. In the meantime the institution be directed not to admit students for the academic sessions 2005-2006 onwards till approval is not given by the Bar Council of India.” 4. In view thereof, no relief can be granted and, accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed in limine. R. M. Lodha, CJ. Kishore K. Mandal, J. Neyaz/-
