¶27

The appellant was appointed to the Governing Body of M.S.S.Wakf Board College vide G.O.(D).No.3, Backward Classes, Most Backward Classes & Minorities Welfare Department, dated 01.02.2017. This appointment was challenged by one Sardar Basha in W.P.(MD)No. 15788 of 2018. The learned single Judge quashed the GO vide order dated 30.10.2018 and allowed the writ petition. Questioning the same, this writ appeal has been filed.

¶28

It is not in dispute that the appellant was holding the post of Secretary cum Correspondent of the College in the year 2003. He was subsequently removed from the primary membership of the college. Challenging his removal, the appellant filed W.P.No.37894 of 2003. The said writ petition came to be dismissed in the year 2017 without going into the merits of the matter. The learned Judge dismissed the writ petition on 29.06.2017 citing sheer efflux of time.

¶29

The learned Senior Counsel appearing for the appellant contends that the appellant was not even a primary member of the college and therefore, he could not have been appointed to the governing body and that GO could have been interfered with on that ground and that there was no need to make any adverse observation against the appellant.
