1 D.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.3613/2004 D.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.5110/2004 D.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.2845/2005 Date of Order :: 01-07-2008 HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR. NARAYAN ROY HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAGHUVENDRA S. RATHORE Mr. M.S. Singhvi, for the petitioner. Mr. N.M. Lodha, Addl.Advocate General for the State. Mr. Manish Shishodai, for the intervenor. Heard learned counsel for the parties. All these writ applications since involve the common questions of facts and law, have been heard together and are being disposed of by this order. Learned counsel for the petitioner however is not pressing the prayer pertaining to validity of the provisions of Section 18 and Clause (iii) to Section 18 of the Rajasthan Non-Government Educational Institution Act, 1989 and Rules 27, 28 and 29 of the Rajasthan Non-Government Educational Institution(Recognition, Grant-in-aid and Service Conditions etc.)Rules, 1993. The question involved in these writ applications is as to whether in the affairs of the minority institution, the State Government can interfere in any manner in day to day business. It is not in dispute that the writ petitioner College is a minority college but receives aid and grant from the State Government. The question which has fallen for consideration was already considered by this Court in D.B. Civil Writ Petition No.694/2007 and it was held that the State authorities have no jurisdiction to interfere or encroach upon the jurisdiction of the 2 institution without having any authority in law. The interference so put by the State authorities pertains to management of the college and not pertaining to regulate the fundings given by the State of Rajasthan. The judgment rendered by the Bench of this Court in writ application No.694/2007 (Shri Guru Nanak Khalsa College and Higher Secondary School, Sri Ganganagar Vs. The State of Rajasthan & Ors.) thus would also apply in the facts and circumstances of these writ applications. The writ applications accordingly are allowed in terms of order passed by this court in Writ Petition No.694/2007and the orders impugned are set aside. No order as to costs.
