Versus

The State of Bihar & Ors .... .... Respondent/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Amarendra Narayan For the Respondent/s : Mr. P.K.Shahi Mr. S.N.Pathak ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR TRIPATHI ORAL ORDER 21-07-2015 Heard counsel for the petitioner, counsel for the Bihar School Examination Board as well as the State. The petitioner's institution has filed this writ petition for grant of recognition as well as affiliation and thereafter declaration of result of such students who purportedly attended classes in the sessions 1986-88, 1987-89 and 1988-90. The reasons for the institution to approach the court is because they are concerned with future and livelihood of such students. The institution showing such concern now should have been kept in mind before admitting any student for the courses in question. The relief cannot be granted for many reasons, primarily that the State cannot grant any recognition retrospectively to the institution since law has undergone a change and the State has no authority to give any recognition now after

Patna High Court CWJC No.14642 of 2008 (2) dt.21-07-2015 2/2 coming of the National Council for Education Act, 1993. It is not that the institution has not tried its best to get recognition by NCET but there also they have failed because they do not fulfill the requirement and standards as laid down under the Act and the Rules.

It is a desperate measure to beget opening for such kind of students who have not perused education at a recognized institution so that they can become a teacher in the State of Bihar even at this belated stage.

Any education imparted by non recognized institution and that too more than three decades is of no avail and concern of this Court.

No relief can be granted to the petitioner in the given set of fact. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J) Abhay/- U
