Seven institutions claiming to be Sanskrit schools are petitioners through their respective representatives. It appears that cases of six institutions have been approved by the Sanskrit Shiksha Board and sent to State Government for granting prior approval for recognition whereas the institution represented by 2 petitioner no.5 said to be situated at Piparpati P.S. Kotwali district Gaya could not be traced for inspection and hence, case of that institution for recognition has been rejected by the Board. It is expected that the State Government shall take required decision as per law within three months from today. The Sanskrit Shiksha Board has complied with the direction of the Division Bench and, therefore, this contempt application is finally disposed of. If so advised, the petitioner no.5 may pursue his remedy through appropriate proceeding in accordance with law. BKS/- (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) (Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J.)
