WP(C) 3903/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE T VAIPHEI Heard Mr. DA Kaiyum, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners. Also heard M r. J Abedin, learned Standing Counsel, Education Deptt. With the consent of Mr. Kaiyum, learned counsel appearing for the petiti oners and Mr. Abedin, learned Standing Counsel, Education Deptt., this writ peti tion is being disposed of at the motion stage. Both the learned counsel appearing for the rival parties have submitted that thi s case is squarely covered by the decision of this Court passed in Kanaklata Gir ls’ ME School & Ors. Vs. State of Assam & Ors. reported in 2007 (3) GLT 333. The case of the petitioners, as projected in the instant writ petition, is that they belong to Venture LP School, which are represented in this writ pet ition by their respective Headmasters and that these schools were established lo ng before coming into force of the Assam Non Government Educational Institution Regulation Act, 2006 and their names are also recorded in the records of the off ice of the respondent No.4. It is the further case of the petitioners that these schools have fulfilled all the terms and conditions for provincialisation as pr ovided under Rule 5 of the Assam Elementary Education (Provincialisation) Rules, 1977 and that the schools are also entitled to receive financial assistance for the year 2010-11 under the State Plan Scheme Financial Assistance to the Ventu re Educational Institutions as notified by the respondent No.1 on 12.1.2011. Th e respondent No.6 had also made spot verifications of the schools of the petitio ners. The respondent No.5, thereafter, submitted the verification report to the respondent No.3 vide his letter (Annexure-A to the writ petition) wherein the na mes of the petitioners found place at Sl Nos.55, 57, 61, 64, 66, 69, 74 and 77. The petitioners on enquiry came to learn that the respondent No.3 approved 22 nu mbers of Venture LP Schools of Chhay Gaon LAC on extraneous consideration for pr oviding financial assistance though they were established much later than the pe titioners’ schools. Contending that the schools of the petitioners have been sub jected to hostile discrimination, appropriate relief is claimed in this writ pet ition. As this case is squarely covered by the decisions of this Court in Kanak lata Girls’ ME School (supra), it is not necessary to keep the matter pending an d the writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of by directing the State responde nts to provide financial assistance to the petitioner schools at par with 22 Ven ture LP Schools of Chhay Gaon LAC after completing the usual formalities. The e ntire exercise will be carried out within a period of 3 (three) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs.
