=========================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR TRIPATHI ORAL JUDGMENT Date: 13-08-2015 *************** 13.08.2015 Heard learned counsel for the parties.

The State will neither take a decision on the subject of granting recognition to the institution nor will they file a counter affidavit despite the writ application having remained pending since 1st of May, 2013. This is a rather unfortunate situation and may be even unacceptable position.

Let the petitioner, therefore, approach the Director, Secondary Education, Government of Bihar

Writ application stands disposed off with observation / direction as above.
