WP(C) 6244/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE N. KOTISWAR SINGH Heard Mr. TJ Mahanta, learned counsel for the petitioner and also heard Mr. P.N. Goswami, learned counsel appearing on behalf of all the respondents. By this application, the petitioner has sought for a direction to the re spondents particularly the respondent No.3, the District Elementary Education Of ficer, Cachar to accept the application of the petitioner for consideration for provincialization of Gobindapur venture school. It is the case of the petitioner that pursuant to the advertisement date d 19-11-2011 issued by the Government of Assam (which is annexed as annexure-12 to the writ petition) inviting applications from the recognized venture ME schoo ls for provincialisation, the Headmaster of the school approached the concerned authority by submitting an application for provincialisation of the said school. The case of the petitioner is that in view of certain internal disputes in th e school, one Abdul Nur Choudhury lodged a false criminal case against the schoo l authorities and one Mohibur Rahman Choudhury, who was appointed earlier as Hea dmaster i/c for a certain period. However, the respondent No.3/District Elementary Education Officer has r efused to accept the application submitted by the petitioner only on the ground that there is some criminal case against the school and some others. The petitio ner contends that it is highly irrational and it cannot be a ground to refuse th e application submitted by the petitioner. The petitioner has now submitted that he should be allowed to submit the necessary application in spite of any such internal disputes and the concerned respondent authority be directed to consider the application of the petitioner f or provincialisation of the said school in terms of the aforesaid advertisement and the respondents concerned would be at liberty to consider the same on merit. The learned counsel for the respondents, Mr. Goswami has no objection to the af oresaid submission of the petitioner. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the r espondent No.3, District Elementary Education Officer to accept the application of the petitioner seeking for provincialisation of the ME venture school in term s of the advertisement dated 19-11-2011 and cannot be rejected on the ground tha t there are some cases pending against the school and other authorities and the State authorities concerned are at liberty to consider the case of the petition er on merit for taking necessary decision regarding the provincialisation of the school as expeditiously as possible. The petitioner is to file a fresh application before the Respondent No.3 /District Elementary Education Officer along with all the relevant documents and a certified copy of this order. With the above direction, this writ petition stands disposed of.
