AZAD NATIONAL DECREE COLLEGE, BASHIR NAGAR, THAKURGANJ(KISHANGANJ) ----------- 02. 26.11.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. The M.H. Azad National Decree College at Kishanganj is stated to be affiliated to the B.N. Mandal University. It is submitted that the Managing Committee of the college has been approved by the Vice- Chancellor vide letter no. 410 dated 26.5.2009 and it subsists in accordance with law. While the petitioner no.1 is the educationist member, the petitioner no.2 is 2 stated to be the founder donor member. They allege non-functioning of the managing committee in accordance with law when certain decisions are allegedly not being implemented and decisions may have been taken wrongly. They have represented to the Vice- Chancellor to no avail and therefore the writ application. The managing committee has a primal role in the running of an affiliated educational Institution and to ensure the maintenance of the academic environment and standards in all its aspects. There are sufficient powers in law with the University to interfere, if a managing committee does not function in accordance with law. To this Court, the primary concern is the maintenance of academic environment and standards of the college. Internecine squabbling amongst members of the managing committee can hardly be conducive for the same. The matter relates to academics. The Court would not like to interfere at this stage as issues for enforcement of academic environment and standards are best left to the academic experts for which the Vice-Chancellor is considered the most appropriate authority by the Court. 3 If the petitioners as members of the managing committee have invited the attention of the Vice-Chancellor to any alleged acts of the managing committee, the Vice-Chancellor shall examine the same and act appropriately in accordance with law under the Bihar University Act. Let the Vice-Chancellor examine issues and then dispose the matter by a reasoned and speaking order to his satisfaction preferably within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Nothing precludes the petitioners from filing any supplemental representation, if so advised. The writ application stands disposed. P.K. ( Navin Sinha, J.)
