Petitioners of C.W.J.C. No. 18724 of 2011 assert that they are the Secretary of ANM T Training School, Tekari Gaya which is situate in village Dumarsan and the said school has been granted recognition by the Director-in-Chief under order, bearing Memo No. 767(6) dated 1.9.2010, Annexure- 7 to the said writ petition. C.W.J.C. No. 20621 of 2011 has been filed asserting that ANM T Training School, Tekari, Gaya is situate not in village Dumarsan but in Tekari Block within the district of Gaya and the Training School situate in Tekari Block within the district of Gaya has been granted recognition under order, bearing Memo No. 767 (6) dated 1.9.2010 for imparting Nursing Course to 20 students. Petitioners of the two writ petitions are claiming to have admitted 20 students each. It is submitted by the counsel for the petitioners of C.W.J.C. No. 18724 of 2011 that inspection on the basis of which recognition has been granted to the ANM T Training School, Tekari, Gaya, was conducted in the school which is situate in 3 village Dumarsan but such fact is being disputed by the counsel for the petitioners of C.W.J.C. No. 20621 of 2011, as according to them, inspection was conducted at the ANM T Training School situate in the Tekari Block within the district of Gaya. Having heard counsel for the parties, including the counsel for the Nursing Council and the State, I am of the view that the Director-in-Chief, Health Services, Bihar, Patna has granted recognition to ANM T Training School, Tekari, Gaya for imparting Nursing Course to 20 students under order dated 1.9.2010. In the circumstances, Director-in- Chief is the competent authority to decide as to which of the two Nursing Training School, one situate in Tekari Block within the district of Gaya and other situate in village Dumarsan within Tekari Block of District Gaya, was inspected and granted recognition. Accordingly, I direct the Director-in-Chief, Health Services, Bihar, Patna to verify from his own records as to which of the two institutions, ANM T Training School, Tekari, Gaya or ANM T Training School, Dumarsan, Tekari, Gaya was inspected and 4 granted recognition and then to issue appropriate direction to the Nursing Council for issue of admit card to the 20 students of the recognized school by Monday (12.12.2011) so as to enable the students to appear in the examination which is scheduled to begin from 13.12.2011. 10.12.2011 being second Saturday and 11.12.2011 being Sunday, I direct the State Counsel to communicate this order telephonically to the Director-in-Chief. Both the writ petitions are, accordingly, disposed of. Arjun/ ( V. N. Sinha, J.)
