IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10977 of 2002 MANAGING COMMITTEE,URDU GIRLS HIGH School, Imambara. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 10. 12.01.2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the State. The District Education Officer is also present in person. The petitioner is stated to be a minority school already granted recognition for the Primary Section and seeking recognition for the Higher Secondary Section. Annexure 3 is alleged to be a report dated 20.9.1996 recommending grant of such recognition. The matter appears to have remained unduly pending when fresh inspection has also been carried out on 4.7.2009 and which submitted its recommendation for grant of recognition to the High Secondary Section. The matter appears to have remained pending unduly. There are now two reports of 20.9.1996 and 4.7.2009 recommending grant of recognition to the High Secondary Section. Let the respondents now take a final decision on the issue of grant of recognition of Higher Secondary Section to the petitioner school within a maximum period of six months from the date of receipt and/or production of a copy of this order. If the respondents propose to deny recognition, they shall be required to give personal representative hearing to the petitioner institution and final order must adequately and appropriately deal with both the inspection reports dated 29.9.1996 and 4.7.2009 also. While taking such decision the respondents cannot impose any precondition beyond that permissible by law and the statute. The writ application stands disposed. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
