It is not in dispute that at Bishanpur in<\/p>\n<p>                   erstwhile Banka sub-division of District-Bhagalpur there existed<\/p>\n<p>                   a school known as Azad High School. It is a Muslim minority<\/p>\n<p>                   school, which was recognized as such by the State Government<\/p>\n<p>                   in the year 1965. This is not in dispute. The school is a general<\/p>\n<p>                   school conducting courses up to matriculation under Bihar<\/p>\n<p>                   School Examination Board. In 1980, the State Government<\/p>\n<p>                   decided to take over most of private managed secondary schools<\/p>\n<p>                   and enacted an ordinance in that regard which is ultimately<\/p>\n<p>                   culminated     as Bihar Non Government Secondary School<\/p>\n<p>                   (Taking Over Management and Control) 1981.Section 18 of the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                        2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>said Act deals with minority institutions. In this, the right of<\/p>\n<p>recognized minority institutions to manage their schools was<\/p>\n<p>recognized and such schools were not taken over provided the<\/p>\n<p>management of the school was constituted by a registered<\/p>\n<p>society. Thus, for enjoying the minority status and recognition<\/p>\n<p>as a school, it was essential in terms of Section 18 that the<\/p>\n<p>school be managed by a Managing Committee, which was duly<\/p>\n<p>registered, failing which it would lose the status of a recognized<\/p>\n<p>minority institution and thus consequential loss the status of a<\/p>\n<p>school, which could affiliate itself to any governmental<\/p>\n<p>institution in any manner. Section 18 further provides that so far<\/p>\n<p>as appointments of teachers in such minority recognized schools<\/p>\n<p>are concerned, the Managing Committee would be free to make<\/p>\n<p>appointments but it would have to seek the approval of the<\/p>\n<p>School Service Board ( Vidyalaya Sewa Board) . Thus, for all<\/p>\n<p>appointments, the sanction of the posts for appointment to the<\/p>\n<p>post has to be done with the approval of a statutory Board being<\/p>\n<p>the School Service Board. As a consequence whereof it goes that<\/p>\n<p>the School Service Board can only grant approval as required in<\/p>\n<p>respect of schools of minority, which comply with Section 18,<\/p>\n<p>the condition of being managed by a registered society otherwise<\/p>\n<p>it has no jurisdiction in the matter.\n<\/p>\n<p>            The case of the petitioner in CWJC No. 2302 of<\/p>\n<p>1997 is that the school enjoined the minority status prior to 1981<\/p>\n<p>Act and in 1998 the school affiliated itself to Anjuman -e-<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                      3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Islahul Muslemin , which was a registered society since 1968.<\/p>\n<p>Once this affiliation was done, a Managing Committee was<\/p>\n<p>formed under the said society for managing this school of which<\/p>\n<p>Shamshuzzoha was the Secretary .It is the case of the petitioners<\/p>\n<p>that under aegis of the trust\/society the school was managed<\/p>\n<p>and it functions. Government also corresponded with the<\/p>\n<p>Secretary of the Managing Committee all along and the School<\/p>\n<p>Service Board on strength of the said Managing Committee<\/p>\n<p>affiliated to the said society granted approval from time to time.<\/p>\n<p>At that time, the Principal\/Headmaster of the school was Md.<\/p>\n<p>Sulaiman. He also filed statutory return with the State of the<\/p>\n<p>School Service Board showing the management affiliated to the<\/p>\n<p>trust\/society as noted earlier. The case of the private respondent<\/p>\n<p>is that in 1988 the muslim public of Banka, which as per him<\/p>\n<p>was running the school, decided in an election to oust old<\/p>\n<p>Managing Committee       and was installed as new Secretary.<\/p>\n<p>Thereafter the State authority having asked the Managing<\/p>\n<p>Committee to get affiliated to a registered society. A society was<\/p>\n<p>formed in the year 1991 and upon its registration it took over the<\/p>\n<p>management of the school. Subsequently, the State recognized<\/p>\n<p>the minority school with the said new management under the<\/p>\n<p>new registered society and thus started controversy. By an<\/p>\n<p>interim order of this Court since 1999 the old Secretary has been<\/p>\n<p>given charge and is carrying on the management. Thus the<\/p>\n<p>question is which is the management and which is the registered<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                        4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>society under which the management is functioning. The first<\/p>\n<p>thing that is to be noted is the period from 1981 to 1988. This is<\/p>\n<p>the period under the Take over Act, 1981. As noticed above, the<\/p>\n<p>minority school has to be recognized and mandatorily affiliated<\/p>\n<p>to a registered society for its management under Section 18 of<\/p>\n<p>the Act. State and the School Service Board records should<\/p>\n<p>reveal that with which society and the Managing Committee<\/p>\n<p>they were dealing with in this period because private<\/p>\n<p>respondent&#8217;s case is that there is no society in the picture and it<\/p>\n<p>was a Managing Committee constituted by the public itself of<\/p>\n<p>which the petitioner was the Secretary. The stand of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner is to the contrary that it was affiliated to the registered<\/p>\n<p>society and through that society the Managing Committee has<\/p>\n<p>been formed of which he was the Secretary. This issue becomes<\/p>\n<p>an important because if it is found , as a matter of fact, that the<\/p>\n<p>earlier society was there in the picture and the management of<\/p>\n<p>the school was through that society then there is nothing on the<\/p>\n<p>record to suggest that the management of the said society was<\/p>\n<p>ever disbanded or abandoned and it got affiliated to another<\/p>\n<p>society of which respondents are members. If that be the position<\/p>\n<p>then the respondent has no case but if it is found that during this<\/p>\n<p>period of 1981-1988 there was no registered society in picture,<\/p>\n<p>the question would be if there was no society in picture in that<\/p>\n<p>period then with whom the government was recognized and<\/p>\n<p>whom was recognized it in violation of Section 18(1) of the Act.<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                 5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>        This mystery can only be solved by the State and the School<\/p>\n<p>        Service Board,       with whom all informations are available in<\/p>\n<p>        this regard.\n<\/p>\n<p>                       I, therefore, direct the State and the School Service<\/p>\n<p>        Board, now merged in Staff Selection Commission, to place<\/p>\n<p>        before this Court all contemporaneous        records of that period<\/p>\n<p>        being correspondences between the School, the State and the<\/p>\n<p>        Board and also compliance of Section 18 of the Act. The entire<\/p>\n<p>        dispute would get resolved on basis thereof because if there is<\/p>\n<p>        mention of the first society then respondent would have no case<\/p>\n<p>        but if there is no first mention of society between the said period,<\/p>\n<p>        then petitioner would have no case.\n<\/p>\n<p>                       Let records be placed before this Court within one<\/p>\n<p>        month.\n<\/p>\n<p>                       By using the State I mean the Sub-divisional Officer,<\/p>\n<p>        District Superintendent of Education and District Education<\/p>\n<p>        officer concerned. Records from all these officers have to be<\/p>\n<p>        traced and it is not acceptable to the Court that the records are<\/p>\n<p>        not available.\n<\/p>\n<p>                       Put up these matters for further hearing on<\/p>\n<p>        28.9.2010.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                           ( Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)<br \/>\nsingh\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patna High Court &#8211; Orders Md.Shabbir Ahmad vs State &amp;Amp; Ors on 26 August, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.9764 of 1993 MD.SHABBIR AHMAD Versus STATE &amp; ORS with CWJC No.9727 of 2000 MD.
