WP(C) 974/2009 BEFORE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE AMITAVA ROY Heard Mr Kaiyum, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Mr Pathak, learn ed Standing counsel, Education Department. For the order which I propose to pass, it is not considered necessary to issue notice on the Respondent Nos 6 and 7. The petitioner is a guardian of his children who was a student of No. 88 4 Pathimari LP School (hereafter referred to as the ’School’) in the District of Barpeta. He is before this Court for the inaction by the Block Elementary Educ ation Officer, Chenga in acting on his representation dated 10.2.2009 submitted by him and other persons from the locality representing against the constitution of the School Managing Committee of the aforementioned institution in which one Md Rahmat Ali Mondal who is the Headmaster of Pathimari ME Madrassa has been i nducted as the President thereof in contravention of the norms formulated by t he Government of Assam in constitution and powers and functions of School Mana ging Committee of Government, Provincialized/Recognized LP, ME and MEM schools o f the State embodied in the notification No.AEE.522/2006/02 dated 17.6.2006. A perusal of the representation dated 10.2.2009 (Annexure-C to the writ petition) demonstrates that the above plea has been urged before the Block Ele mentary Education Office, Chenga. In that view of the matter, this Court is of t he opinion that such a representation having been filed and as the decision ther eon would have a bearing on the affairs of an educational institution, the autho rity concerned ought to have disposed of the same with expedition. In the above factual premise, without offering any comment on the merit of the petitioner’s representation, it is deemed expedient to close this proce eding with a direction to the Block Elementary Education Officer, Chenga to deci de on the petitioner’s representation early. Ordered accordingly. As any adverse decision vis a vis the school Managing Committee would affect the President a nd the members thereof, it is ordered that the aforementioned authority before d isposing of the representation would afford reasonable opportunity of hearing t o both the sides. In any view of the matter, the process as ordered should be c ompleted within a period of one month from the date of receipt of the certified copy of this ordered and the decision taken would be forthwith communicated to a ll concerned. The petition stands disposed in the above terms. No costs.
