Mr. Gopal Narian, Advocate for respondent No. 3. Date of Judgment: 16.08.2010 JUDGMENT Coram: Hon’ble Barin Ghosh, C.J. Hon’ble V.K. Bist, J. BARIN GHOSH, C.J. (ORAL) The writ petitioners-appellants are brothers. They were students of respondent No. 2, which in turn is a private educational institution affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education. There was some dispute as regards tuition fees payable by the petitioners-appellants to the school. This dispute was sought to be settled through the medium of this writ petition. The Court graciously lend its hands in order to ensure that the petitioners do not lose any academic year in the matter of appearing in the examination conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education and passed appropriate orders to that effect. The petitioners, it appears, have appeared in the examination they were entitled to appear. Ultimately the Court directed payment of roughly about Rs. 84,000/- by the petitioners to the school. Against that order the present appeal has been preferred. 2. This Court instead of going into the dispute directed the District Magistrate to look into the matter and to submit a report. Accordingly, such a report has been furnished. In terms whereof it appears that the stand taken by the school is correct. We accept the report. However, we dispose of the appeal and all matters connected thereto by directing payment of a sum of Rs. 50,000/- by the petitioners-appellants to the 2 school. Such payment be made as quickly as possible, but not later than two months from today. (V.K. Bist, J.) (Barin Ghosh, C.J.) 16.08.2010 16.08.2010 Amit
