Patna High Court CWJC No.5458 of 2020(4) dt.01-05-2025 2/3
grant approval to newly constituted Managing Committee of the Madarsa Rahamaniya Afzala, Supaul, Biraul, Darbhanga.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioner no. 1 was elected as Secretary and the petitioner no. 2 was elected as President of the Managing Committee of the Madarsa having eleven other members on 03.09.2019. The Board vide letter, dated 09.12.2019, rejected the resolution of the petitioners without giving any explanation.
4. Learned counsel for the Bihar State Madarsa Education Board submits that in exercise of the powers conferred under Section 26 of the Bihar State Madrasa Education Act, 1981, the Bihar State Non-Government Recognised Aided Madarsa Managing Committee Constitution Rules, 2022, has been framed. As per the Rule 6 (1) of the aforesaid Rules, 2022, the tenure of approved Managing Committee shall be of three years. The three years tenure from the date of constitution of the Managing Committee, approval for which has not been given by the Board, has now expired.
5. On the other hand, Mr. Obaidur Rahman, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent no. 12-Principal, Madarsa Rahamaniya Afzala Supaul, Biraul, Darbhanga, Madarsa No. 105, submits that much water has flown under the

bridge and since 2019 two Managing Committees were constituted and approved by the Madarsa Board. A new Managing Committee has been constituted recently in 2022-23, after having approval from the Board and it is still functioning.
6. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the fact that Managing Committee was constituted by the petitioners in the year 2019 and as per Rule 6 (1) of the Rules, 2022, the tenure of the Managing Committee is prescribed as three years, since then two Managing Committees have been constituted and recently, in 2022-23, constitution of new Managing Committee has been approved by the Board which is still functioning, accordingly, I am of the opinion that the present writ application has become infructuous and is dismissed.
7. However, if the petitioners, so advised, may take steps for challenging the constitution and approval of the Managing Committee, which is still functioning, before the appropriate forum.
