Respondents ----------- 2. 12.2.2009. Petitioner claims himself to be a donor member of Ankoura College, Daudnagar, Aurangabad and he had donated land for its establishment. College came to be established sometime in the year 1981 and affiliation by the Intermediate Council granted for Arts and Science faculty on 7.6.1986. Earlier the Intermediate Council as it then was has set-up an ad hoc committee by order dated 12.1.2007, which is Annexure- 6. Subsequently, the Bihar Intermediate Education Council Repeal Act, 2007 came into existence and by virtue of an amendment brought about in the Bihar School Examination Board Act, 2007 power of granting and withdrawing affiliation has been vested under Section 10 C. Petitioner’s contention is that now it is the duty of the respondent Bihar School Examination Board to constitute a regular body to run the affairs of the College. The Secretary of the College has already approached the Chairman/Secretary of Bihar School Examination Board - 2 - way back on 4.7.2007 but no decision is being taken and this is taking its toll on the efficient management of the institution. The Court does not understand as to why the authorities have not bothered to respond on this issue for more than a year and half. The writ application is disposed of with a direction upon the respondent Chairman, Bihar School Examination Board that he will take cognizance of the letter of the Secretary of the College and take a decision in this regard preferably before 30th May, 2009 after production of a copy of this order. This writ application is disposed of with above direction. Pawan/- (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
