In this group of petitions, petitioners are questioning the legality and validity of the Government Resolution dated 02.05.2012. Petitioners, before the Court, are either private aided institutions operating primary schools or employees employed by such private schools.

3 The preamble of the Government Resolution dated 02.05.2012 records that it is the primary responsibility of the State Government, under the Indian Constitution, to provide quality education to the children in the State. In order to make available facilities of education to the children, the State Government operates schools through the local self Government as well as by providing aid to the private managements. The Special Justice Department as well as Tribal Development Department of the State of Maharashtra operate Residential schools as well as Ashram Schools for imparting education to the children. There are about 1,00,000 schools operating in the State imparting education to ::: Downloaded on - 27/11/2013 20:29:35 ::: {129} wp416812.odt about 2 crores students. The School Education Department of the State makes a budgetary provision of about Rs.29,000 crores for such purpose out of which about 87% funds are utilised for payment of salary and pensionary benefits to the teaching and non teaching employees. The State Government also incurs expenditure for providing uniforms, books, textbooks and midday meal to the children studying in such schools.

4 It is recorded in the Resolution that since last few years, there have been instances brought to the notice in respect of malpractices committed by the school managements in registering bogus students with a view to boost the statistics of admissions in the school with a view to secure permission for opening extra / additional divisions, for appointment of excess number of teachers and for claiming inadmissible monetary benefits. Taking notice of such malpractices, the State Government caused inspection of the schools operating in Nanded district on experimental basis and the drive of computing the students strength of the private schools was conducted between the period 7th to 14th September, 2011. During the course of inspection, certain startling facts were noticed, such as:

(i) A huge difference between students' strength recorded by the school managements and actual presence of the student population;
::: Downloaded on - 27/11/2013 20:29:35 :::

{130} wp416812.odt

(ii) The students shown to be present in the schools were actually residents of other districts;

(iii)In many cases, same set of the students were shown to be present during morning and afternoon sessions;

(iv) In many cases, the students were found to be enrolled in different private schools simultaneously;

(v) The students were offered undue benefits for ensuring their presence;

(vi)It appears that in some schools physical infrastructure was temporarily made available during the drive undertaken by the State in Nanded district.

(vii)About 1,40,195 students were found to be either absent or that their names were falsely recorded in enrollment registers.

5 The State Government, on consideration of the report of inspection conducted in Nanded district, took a decision to conduct a special drive for verification of student population studying in private schools and accordingly inspection of the ::: Downloaded on - 27/11/2013 20:29:35 ::: {131} wp416812.odt schools was undertaken by the State Government under the guidance and supervision of District Collectors of each districts.

The special drive was conducted in each district under the supervision of District Collector by the State Government employees excluding employees of Education Department. During the special drive conducted by the State Government, following facts emerged:

(i) The percentage of students, who were found absent in the schools, throughout the State, was 10.16%;
(ii) The percentage of the students who were found to be absent in private unaided schools, excluding English medium schools, was 14.11%
(iii) In the school operated on permanent no grant basis, the percentage of absentism of students was13.26%;
(iv) The percentage of absent students in private aided, partly aided schools was 10.84%; whereas,
(v) 16.59% students were found absent in the schools operated by Municipal Corporations/Municipal Councils;
(vi) In the Schools for handicapped students, percentage of absentism of students was 27.02%;
(vii) In the Schools operated by Social Justice Department:
22.79%; and
(viii) In the Schools operated by Tribal Development Department, percentage of absentism of students was 13.42% .
::: Downloaded on - 27/11/2013 20:29:35 :::

{132} wp416812.odt

(ix)In 9687 schools, the percentage of absentism was between 22 to 49.99%, whereas, in 2659 schools, the percentage of absentism was found to be more than 50%.

6 Considering the facts revealed during special inspection drive, the State Government formed a Committee for making recommendations under the control of Chief Secretary of the State of Maharashtra and the said Committee has submitted 17 recommendations to the State. On consideration of the recommendations submitted by the Committee, the State has taken a decision to issue following 17 directions:

     7             The   petitioners   contend   that   directives   contained   in 

the Government Resolution are contrary to the provisions of (i) Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 (for short, "the RTE Act") and the Rules framed by the State of Maharashtra thereunder; (ii) Bombay Primary Education Act, 1947 and the Rules framed thereunder; (iii) Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools (Conditions of Service) Regulation Act, 1977 and the Rules framed thereunder; and (iv) the Secondary School Code.
::: Downloaded on - 27/11/2013 20:29:36 :::
{136} wp416812.odt 8 Clause 1.2 of the Resolution provides that for determining the strength of teachers in primary and secondary schools, the student strength in the school as on 15th July shall be taken into account. Clause 1.3 provides for taking action of de-

recognition of such of those schools wherein absentism of the students is more than 20%. It is directed that appropriate action be taken after issuing a show cause notice to such institutions.

Clause 1.4 of the Resolution provides that so far as the schools wherein absentism of students is found to be more than 50%, measures for launching criminal prosecution against such institutions and Head Masters shall be initiated and recognition of such schools be withdrawn by following prescribed procedure.

Only such of the employees employed in the schools wherein absentism of the students is found to be less than 50%, shall be accommodated in other schools as provided under clause 1.5, whereas, clause 1.7 provides that teaching as well as non teaching staff in the schools wherein absentism of the students is found to be more than 50%, shall be declared surplus and instead of accommodating them in any other school, their services be terminated. Clause 1.8 of the Resolutions directs management of the private schools as well as schools operated by local self Government not to appoint teaching and non teaching staff without ensuring accommodation of surplus teachers. Clause 1.11 of the Resolution provides that the schools operated by the Special ::: Downloaded on - 27/11/2013 20:29:36 ::: {137} wp416812.odt Justice Department as well as Tribal Development Department shall not be inspected by a separate cell at the present. A directive has been issued to the District Collector to make financial provision for causing surprise inspection of the schools operating in the District every year. It is directed in view of clause 1.16 to call for explanation of concerned officials of the Municipal Corporations as well as Municipal Councils wherein absentism of the students in the schools operated by such local bodies is found to be more than 10%.

9 Petitioners contend that services of the employees employed in private schools are governed by the provisions of Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools (Conditions of Service) Regulation Act, 1977 and the Rules framed thereunder. There are provisions contained in the Act as well as Rules in respect of initiating departmental proceedings for the misconduct committed by a teacher or member of non teaching staff. The Rules provide a detailed procedure for initiating disciplinary action against an employee of a private school and for imposition of major and minor penalties. The services of an employee of a private school cannot be dispensed with without observing procedure prescribed under the Act of 1977 and Rules framed thereunder. The Act also makes a provision for declaring employees of private schools surplus and for accommodation of such surplus teachers. Rules 25A and 26 provide for absorption of retrenched or surplus employees ::: Downloaded on - 27/11/2013 20:29:36 ::: {138} wp416812.odt functioning in a private school. A permanent employee may be retrenched from service by the management on account of reduction of establishment owing to reduction in the number of classes or divisions, fall in the number of pupils resulting in reduction of establishments; etc. Rule 26, provides for absorption of retrenched employee in the manner provided in the rule. An employee terminated from service on account of abolition of posts is also required to be taken on waiting list maintained by the Education Officer or by the Deputy Director of Education in case of Higher Secondary School for making recommendations to the management of newly opened aided school or existing aided schools for absorption. The services of an employee functioning in a private school cannot be brought to an end merely because of absentism of the students revealed during inspection to be more than 20% or 50%, as the case may be. The services of the permanent teacher employed in a private school can be brought to an end only on account of misconduct or any other reason provided under the Act and Rules and subject to observance of procedure provided under the Rules. The directives issued in paragraph 1.3 and 1.7 are contrary to the provisions of the Act of 1977 and the Rules framed thereunder. It is also contended that Head Master of the School cannot be held responsible and cannot be prosecuted for the reason of absentism of students if found to be more than 50%, during the course of inspection, undertaken as a special drive. A sweeping direction contained in clause 1.4 is not ::: Downloaded on - 27/11/2013 20:29:36 ::: {139} wp416812.odt contemplated by the Act of 1977 or any other Enactment i.e. Bombay Primary Education Act, Secondary School Code or RTE Act. The recognition of the school is also required to be withdrawn in the manner provided under the RTE Act and the Rules framed thereunder and as such, directives contained in paragraph 1.4 of the Resolution are extraneous to the provisions of the RTE Act and the Rules, so also Bombay Primary Education Act and Secondary School Code. It is also urged that the schools operated by the private managements are discriminated, whereas, no action, is proposed against the schools operated by the local authorities and the employees functioning in such schools.

10 The learned Government Pleader, appearing for Respondent-State, supported the decision taken by the State Government and contended that the unprecedented situation is created by the operators of the private schools warranting extraordinary measures. It is contended that the surprise inspection conducted under the supervision of District Collector of each districts revealed mind boggling facts. The misdeeds committed by the private managements operating the schools have been brought to the light. The facts and features relating to attendance of students revealed during the surprise inspections called for strict measures, prompted the Government to issue directions by way of issuance of Resolution dated 02.05.2012.

{140} wp416812.odt 11 It is contended that the decision taken by the Government to cause special inspection of schools to assess attendance of students in the schools in the State, was subject matter of challenge in Writ Petition No.7687 of 2011. The Division Bench of this Court, while dismissing the writ petition, has observed that the circular issued by the Government on 19.09.2011 by which the State Government had directed that in the entire State, there shall be a special drive to verify the strength of the students who are actually taking education in the schools which are receiving grant-in-aid or not receiving grant-in-aid, is not in conflict with the Government Resolution dated 07.10.2003.

The Division Bench has ruled that the circular is in effect issued for achieving the purpose provided in the aforesaid Government Resolution. It is, thus, contended that since this Court has approved the special drive undertaken by the State Government for counting the exact number of students actually taking education in the schools, no interference need be caused in respect of the directives contained in the Government Resolution impugned in the petition, since such directives are issued after collecting data and facts and figures during surprise inspection. The Respondents, as such, prayed for dismissal of the petitions.

18 It is to be noted that on consideration of the provisions of the Act of 2009 as well as Rules framed by the State of Maharashtra in the year 2011, it is revealed that no provision has been made for de-recognition of the school on account of absentism of the students revealed during the course of inspection, to be more than 50% nor there is any provision for taking action against such private schools on account of absentism of the students if found to be beyond 20%.

Similar is the case in respect of directive contained in clause 1.3 of the impugned Government Resolution. Rule 12 provides that where the District Education Officer, on his own motion, or on any representation received from any person, has reason to believe, that a school recognised under rule 11, has violated one or more of the conditions for grant of recognition or has failed to fulfill the norms and standards prescribed in the Schedule, the District Education Officer shall act in the manner prescribed under the said rule, issue order of withdrawal of recognition.

27 As is evident on perusal of Rule 26, a permanent employee of a private school may be retrenched from service by the Managing after giving him 3 months' notice in the event of, (i) reduction of establishment owing to reduction in the number of classes or divisions; (ii) fall in the number of pupils resulting in reduction of establishments; (iii) change in the curriculum affecting the number of certain category of employees; (iv) closure of course of studies; and (v) any other bona fide reason of similar nature. The retrenchment from service shall have to be in accordance with principle of seniority and an order has to be issued with prior approval of the Education Officer or Deputy Director of Education, as the case may be. The Rules further provide that employees from aided schools, whose services are proposed to be retrenched, shall be absorbed by the Education Officer or the Director of Education, as the case may be and such employee is also entitled to continuity as well as for payment of salary until his absorption.

28 In the instant case, a direction has been issued in terms of clause 1.7 of the Government Resolution to terminate services of the teachers straightway where it is noticed that attendance of students in the schools during inspection was found to be less than 50%. The direction issued by the State ::: Downloaded on - 27/11/2013 20:29:37 ::: {163} wp416812.odt Government in terms of clause 1.7 is contrary to the provisions of MEPS Act as well as MEPS Rules, referred to above. The services of a teacher can be terminated on account of abolition of posts and such permanent teacher is entitled to claim absorption in terms of sub-rule (2) of Rule 25A, so also in the event of retrenchment on account of abolition of posts, the employee is entitled to be absorbed in other schools operated by the private managements and is also entitled for continuity of service and salary.

29

In the instant matter, however, giving go bye to the provisions of Rules 25A and 26 of the MEPS Rules, as well as Rule 28, a direction has been issued for putting an end to the services of a class of teachers. The directive contained in clause 1.7 of the Government Resolution issued by the Government is, as such, contrary to the provisions of MEPS Act and Rules, so also in contravention of the Central Legislation as well as Rules framed thereunder by the State of Maharashtra.

30 The Bombay Primary Education Act, 1947, is enacted with a view to discharge obligation of the Government to secure the development and expansion of primary education and in furtherance of the policy of universal, free and compulsory primary education. Sections 32 to 35 of the Bombay Primary Education Act provides for duties of the parents to cause their children to attend the school; meaning of reasonable excuse; procedure for ::: Downloaded on - 27/11/2013 20:29:37 ::: {164} wp416812.odt issuance of attendance order and penalty for failure to cause child to attend approved school. The relevant provisions are as quoted below:

32 Duty to be charged in area of compulsion:- In every area of compulsion, the parent of every child to whom a scheme applies shall in the absence of a reasonable excuse as hereinafter provided and if such parent and child ordinarily reside in such area cause such child to attend an approved school in such area.
33 Meaning of reasonable excuse- A Parent shall be deemed to have a reasonable excuse for failure to cause a child to attend an approved school in any of the following cases:-
(a) where the child is prevented from attending school by sickness, informity or other unavoidable cause;
(b) where the child is receiving, otherwise than in an approved school, instruction which in the opinion of the school board [ or Zilla Parishad, as the case may be,] a certificate of having already completed his primary education up to the standard included in the scheme;
(c) where there is no approved school within the distance fixed by the Zilla Parishad or school board under section 13 or 18, as the case may be;
(d) where after due application, entrance to an approved school has been refused to the child and there is not other approved school to which he can be admitted within the distance, fixed under section 13 or 18, as the case may be, until such time as the parent ::: Downloaded on - 27/11/2013 20:29:37 ::: {165} wp416812.odt is notified by the Administrative Officer [or [Parishad Education Officer]] that the child can be admitted;
(e) where there is no approved school in the locality in which instruction is given in the language spoken by the child.
(f) where there is no approved school in the locality to which the parent can send the child without exposing him to religious instruction to which the parent object.

34 Issue of attendance order:-(1) Where the [Zilla Parishad or school board] is satisfied that the parent of any child who is bound under the provisions of section 32 to cause such child to attend an approved school has failed to do so, the [Zilla Parishad or, as the case may be the school board] after giving the parent an opportunity of being heard and after such inquiry as it considers necessary may make an order directing the parent to cause such child to attend an approved school on and from the date which shall be specified in the order.

(2) This power may be delegated by the Zilla Parishad to any member of the Education Committee appointed by it or the Parishad Education Officer or any officer of the Zilla Parishad and by the school to any of its members or to the Administrative Officer or other officer of the school board.

(3) Any parent aggrieved by an order made under sub-section (1) may within thirty days from the date of such order, appeal to the Deputy Director of Education of the Division who may confirm or rescind the order as he deems fit.

35 Penalty for failure to cause child to attend ::: Downloaded on - 27/11/2013 20:29:37 ::: {166} wp416812.odt approved school - (1) If an order with reference to a child has been made under sub-section (1) of section 34 against any parent and if such parent fails to comply with the provisions of section 32 with respect to such child on or after the date specified in such order, unless such order is rescinded in an appeal made under sub-section (3) of the said section 34, such parent shall, on conviction, be punished with fine not exceeding two rupees; and in case such failure continues after such conviction, he shall also be punished with fine of eight annas for every day on which the failure continues or is repeated.

(2)

No court shall take cognizance of an offence under sub-section (1) except on a complaint presented in person or sent by registered post by the Parishad Education Officer or any officer authorized by him in this behalf or, as the case may be by the Administrative Officer, or any other officer authorized by him in this behalf.

31 On consideration of the provisions referred to above, it does appear that it is the duty of the parents of every child, in the absence of reasonable excuse, to ensure attendance of the child in the school. The term 'reasonable excuse' has been defined in Section 33 of the Act. On failure of a parent to perform the obligation prescribed under Section 32 of the Bombay Primary Education Act, 1947, a penalty has been prescribed under Section

35. Thus, it does appear that it is the responsibility of the parents of the child to ensure attendance of their children in the school.

The State Government, however, in issuing the Resolution impugned in this petition, proposes to shift the obligation of ::: Downloaded on - 27/11/2013 20:29:37 ::: {167} wp416812.odt ensuring attendance of the children in the school, on the teachers and also prescribe penalty on their failure, which is directed to be enforced without extending opportunity of hearing to such teachers and without following procedure prescribed in the relevant Act and the Rules.

32 Section 48 of the Bombay Primary Education Act, 1947, provides that the State Government may appoint such officers including inspecting officers as it may deem necessary for the purposes of superintendence and inspection and generally for the purposes of giving effect to the provisions of this Act. Sub-

section (2) provides that the officers appointed under sub-section (1) shall be the servants of the State Government, and their powers and duties shall be such as may be prescribed.

33 The Bombay Primary Education Rules, 1949 and more particularly, Rules 167 to 170 provide for duties of Deputy Educational Inspector, Assistant Deputy Educational Inspector, Assistant Deputy Educational Inspectors for Physical Education;

and duties of Craft Supervisors concerning conduct of inspection of schools and other supervisory duties.

34 In the instant matter, prior to issuing impugned Government Resolution, a novel method has been evolved by the State Government of deploying employees of Revenue Department ::: Downloaded on - 27/11/2013 20:29:37 ::: {168} wp416812.odt for verifying attendance of the students in the schools under the special drive undertaken by the State. As has been referred to above, the State Government does have powers to appoint officers for the purposes of superintendence and inspection, however, there has to be an authorization in respect of powers and duties in favour of such officers, as may be prescribed. In the instant matter, it does not appear that the special drive conducted by the Revenue officials has been under the orders, as contemplated by Section 48 of the Bombay Primary Education Act, 1947. It would be open for the State Government to cause inspection of the schools through the officers appointed in that behalf excluding officers of the Education Department, however, in terms of sub-

section (2) of Section 48, the State shall prescribe powers and duties of such officers. The provisions of Section 48 contemplate an order prescribing powers and duties of the officers appointed for conducting inspection of the schools. In the instant matter, the procedure, as prescribed under Section 48, does not appear to have been followed.

35 In the affidavit-in-reply presented by Shri Nana U. Raurale, Joint Secretary, School Education and Sports Department, Mantralaya, it is averred in paragraph no.9, as follows:

"9 ....... The State Government suspected that it is quite possible that the number of students in the given ::: Downloaded on - 27/11/2013 20:29:37 ::: {169} wp416812.odt school is represented to be more perhaps with the active connivance of the officers in Education Department. Therefore, the responsibility of carrying out survey was cast upon the Officers of the Revenue Department. ......."

36 It is quite surprising that the State Government suspects impartiality and loyalty of its own officers serving in the Education Department. Sweeping allegations have been made against the officers working in the Education Department. It is also not clarified as to what steps are taken by the State Government against erring officers whose integrity is suspected.

The functions of the officers of Revenue Department are quite distinct and it cannot be inferred that they are conversant with the functioning of the Education Department. It is also intriguing to note that while doubting integrity of the officers of the Education Department, whether the State Government indirectly proposes to certify integrity and character of all the officers of the Revenue Department. The stand taken by the State Government, in its affidavit-in-reply, is not at all acceptable and we put on record our displeasure as regards the sweeping allegations made in the affidavit-in-reply concerning officers functioning in the Education Department.

37 There are instructions issued by the Government in the form of Secondary School Code and the provisions are in the ::: Downloaded on - 27/11/2013 20:29:37 ::: {170} wp416812.odt nature of executive instructions. Paragraphs 7.1 to 7.6 relate to withdrawal of recognition, whereas, conditions of service and the matters concerning termination of employees, procedure of enquiry, is as provided in Part II and III. Suffice it to note that the directive contained in clause 1.7 of the Government Resolution is contrary to the provisions of Secondary School Code.

38 Clause 1.2 of the Government Resolution prescribes that 15th July of relevant year shall be the prescribed date for determining strength of the teachers in primary and secondary schools. The directive contained in aforesaid clause is contrary to the provisions of the Act and Rules and this position has not been controverted on behalf of the State Government. The learned Government Pleader, appearing for the State, has brought to our notice a communication issued by the State Government on 24 th August, 2012, wherein it has been recorded that the prescribed date for the purposes of determining strength of the teachers in accordance with provisions of the RTE Act of 2009, shall be 30th September of the relevant year. In view of the statement made by the learned Government Pleader, on the basis of communication dated 24.08.2012, clause 1.2 of the Government Resolution does not hold good.

39 Reliance is placed by the petitioners on the judgment in the matter of State of Karnataka & another Vs. B. Suvarna ::: Downloaded on - 27/11/2013 20:29:37 ::: {171} wp416812.odt Malini and another, reported in (2001) 1 SCC 728, for the proposition that the Rules framed by the State Government are of legislative character and would have the force as if the State Legislature has framed the Laws. In the instant matter also, the Rules framed by the State Government, namely MEPS Rules as well as Rules framed under the RTE Act of 2009 having been tabled before each House of the State Legislature, shall have the force of law. The Rules are framed in exercise of the powers conferred under the Act and since the requirement for framing of the Rules having been duly fulfilled, the Rules are legislative in character.

40 In the matter of Punjab Water Supply and Sewerage Board Vs. Ranjodh Singh and others, reported in AIR 2007 SC 1082, in paragraph no.10, it is observed thus:

"10 A statutory board is an autonomous body.
Nothing has been brought to our notice to show that under the statute any direction issued by the State shall be binding on it. The State may have some control with regard to recruitment of employees of local authorities, but such control must be exercised by the State strictly in terms of the provisions of the Act. The statutory bodies are bound to apply the rules of recruitment laid down under statutory rules. They being 'States' within the meaning of Article 12 of the Constitution of India, are bound to implement the constitutional scheme of equality. Neither the statutory bodies can ::: Downloaded on - 27/11/2013 20:29:37 ::: {172} wp416812.odt refuse to fulfil such constitutional duty, nor the State can issue any direction contrary to or inconsistent with the constitutional principles adumbrated under Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India. The purported directions of the State were otherwise bad in law in so far as thereby the statutory rules were sought to be superseded. A circular letter furthermore is not a statutory instrument. It was not even issued by the State in exercise of the power under Article 162 of the Constitution of India. Even a scheme issued under Article 162 of the Constitution of India, would not prevail over statutory rules."

41 The Supreme Court has held that the directives of the State were bad in law insofar as thereby the statutory rules were sought to be superseded. It has further been held that even a scheme framed under Article 162 of the Constitution of India, would not prevail over statutory rules.

42 As has been observed above, in the instant matter, the directives issued under the impugned Government Resolution in clauses 1.2 to 1.7, are contrary to the express provisions of the Act and the Rules framed thereunder. An order, issued against an employee, directing him to retire compulsorily before attaining age of superannuation, has been set aside by the High Court in the matter of Sukanya Apte & another Vs. State of Maharashtra & others, reported in 2007(5) Bom.C.R. 472 and in the matter of Namdeo Bikkad & another Vs. State of Maharashtra (Writ Petition ::: Downloaded on - 27/11/2013 20:29:38 ::: {173} wp416812.odt No.1772 of 1997, decided on 14.07.2006), holding that since the provisions of MEPS Act and Rules framed thereunder do not provide for compulsory retirement of an employee, such an order is unsustainable in law. In the instant matter, directives have been issued by the Government under the Government Resolution, which are clearly in contravention of the Act and the Rules.

43 Reliance is placed on the judgment in the matter of Nishad Sadashiv Pawar & others Vs. Dnyanasadhana College & others, reported in 2005 (4) All M.R. 101, for the proposition that the Rules are subordinate legislation, whereas, administrative instructions are not. The Government Resolutions issued by the State from time to time, in exercise of administrative powers under Article 162 of the Constitution would be inapplicable to the admissions in schools and Junior Colleges, which are contrary to the provisions of the Act and Rules.

44 Reiterating the view expressed in the matter of A. Umarani Vs. Registrar, Cooperative Societies and others, reported in (2004) 7 SCC 112, the Supreme Court, in the matter of Mahadeo Bhau Khilare (Mane) & others Vs. State of Maharashtra & others, reported in 2007 (6) All M.R. 476, has observed that any scheme, by way of a executive instruction in terms of Article 162 of the Constitution of India, if violative of such statutory rules, would not be legally sustainable.

::: Downloaded on - 27/11/2013 20:29:38 :::

{174} wp416812.odt 45 The learned Government Pleader, appearing for the State, placing reliance on the judgment of the Supreme Court in the matter of Dhampur Sugar (Kashipur) Ltd. Vs. State of Uttaranchal & others, reported in (2007) 8 SCC 418, has urged that the State must have liberty and freedom in framing policies.

Although the discretion is not absolute, unqualified, unfettered or uncanalised and judiciary has control over all executive actions, it is also well established that Courts are ill-equipped to deal with these matters. It is contended that in the facts and circumstances of these matters, this Court shall refrain from interfering in the decision taken by the State Government.

46 In this context, reference can be made to following observations of the Supreme Court in paragraphs no.67, 68, 69 and 79 of the judgment, in the matter of Dhampur Sugar (Kashipur) Ltd. (supra).

"67 Reversing the judgment, this Court observed that the High Court has thoroughly misunderstood the nature of the jurisdiction that was exercised by it.
"9 ... So long as there is no violation of any fundamental rights and if the principles of natural justice are not offended, it was not for the High Court to lay down the policy that should be ::: Downloaded on - 27/11/2013 20:29:38 ::: {175} wp416812.odt adopted by the educational authorities in the matter of granting permission for starting schools. The question of policy is essentially for the State and such policy will depend upon an overall assessment and summary of the requirements of residents of a particular locality and other categories of persons for whom it is essential to provide facilities for education. If the overall assessment is arrived at after a proper classification on a reasonable basis, it is not for the courts to interfere with the policy leading up to such assessment." (emphasis supplied) 68 In R.K. Garg Vs. Union of India, constitutional validity of the Special Bearer Bonds (Immunities and Exemptions) Act,1981 was challenged being arbitrary and having no reasonable nexus with the object sought to be achieved. Holding the Act intra vires and constitutional and describing it as a policy legislation, the majority stated: (SCC p.691, para 8) "8 .... The Court must always remember that 'legislation is directive to practical problems, that the economic mechanism is highly sensitive and complex, that many problems are singular and contingent, that laws are not abstract propositions and do not relate to abstract units and are not to be measured by abstract symmetry', 'that exact wisdom and nice adaption of remedy are not always possible' and that 'judgment is largely a prophecy based on meagre and uninterrupted experience'. Every ::: Downloaded on - 27/11/2013 20:29:38 ::: {176} wp416812.odt legislation particularly in economic matters is essentially empiric and it is based on experimentation or what one may call trial and error method and therefore it cannot provide for all possible situations or anticipate all possible abuses. There may be crudities and inequities in complicated experimental economic legislation but on that account alone it cannot be struck down as invalid."

(emphasis supplied) 69 In Liberty Oil Mills Vs. Union of India, dealing with the import and export policy following by the Government, this Court observed: (SCC p. 478, para 6) "6.... The import policy of any country, particularly in a developing country, has necessarily to be tuned to its general economic policy founded upon its constitutional goals, the requirements of its internal and international trade, its agricultural and industrial development plans, its monetary and financial strategies and last but not the least the international political and diplomatic overtones depending on 'friendship, neutrality or hostility with other countries'. There must also be a considerable number of other factors which go into the making of an import policy. Expertise in public and political, national and international economy is necessary before one may engage in the making or in the criticism of an import policy. Obviously courts do not possess the expertise and are consequently ::: Downloaded on - 27/11/2013 20:29:38 ::: {177} wp416812.odt incompetent to pass judgment on the appropriateness or the adequacy of a particular import policy."

(emphasis supplied) 79 In our opinion, Chagla, C.J. Was right in making the following observations in State of Bombay Vs. Laxmidas Ranchhoddas:

(AIR p. 475, para 12).
"12 ...We are not oblivious of the fact that in order that the modern State should function the Government must be armed with very large powers. But the High Court does not interfere with the exercise of those powers. The High Court only interferes when it finds that those powers are not exercised in accordance with the mandate of the legislature. Therefore, far from interfering with the good governance of the State, the Court helps the good governance by constantly reminding Government and its officers that they should act within the four corners of the statute and not contravene any of the conditions laid down as a limitation upon their undoubtedly wide powers.
Therefore, even from a practical point of view, even from the point of view of the good governance of the State, we think that the High Court should not be reluctant to issue its prerogative writ whenever it finds that the sovereign legislature has not been obeyed and powers have been assumed which the legislature never conferred upon the executive." (emphasis supplied) ::: Downloaded on - 27/11/2013 20:29:38 ::: {178} wp416812.odt 47 As has been observed in the matter of State of Bombay Vs. Laxmidas Ranchhoddas, reported in AIR 1952 Bom 468, the Court helps the good governance by constantly reminding Government and its officers that they should act within the four corners of the statute and not contravene any of the conditions laid down as a limitation upon their undoubtedly wide powers.
48 In the instant matter, as has been concluded by process of reasoning recorded above, that the directives issued by the State Government under the Government Resolution dated 02.05.2012 are found to be contradictory with the provisions of law and the Rules framed thereunder, those are required to be quashed and set aside. At the same time, it is specifically clarified that powers of the State Government to initiate criminal prosecution against the management of the private schools, Head Master, teachers and other employees, is not taken away and in the event, it is found that the private managements or its employees have indulged in the activities which amounts to an offence under the provisions of the Indian Penal Code or any other enactment, it would be open for the State Government to initiate prosecution against such managements and the employees concerned.
However, the Managements and the employees cannot be prosecuted and charged with commission of offence merely because during special drive, attendance of the students in the school was found to be less than 50%. The management as well ::: Downloaded on - 27/11/2013 20:29:38 ::: {179} wp416812.odt as employees of the schools, if are suspected to be guilty of fabricating the record or indulging in any unlawful activities and are responsible for creating false record to demonstrate inflated strength of students in school with a view to extract inadmissible financial gain, they can be prosecuted by taking recourse to the provisions of the Indian Penal Code.
49 We are of the view that the directives issued by the State Government contained in Government Resolution dated 02.05.2012, issued by the State Government in clauses 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 needs to be quashed and set aside and are accordingly quashed and set aside.
50 Rule is accordingly made absolute. There shall be no order as to costs. Pending Civil Applications, if any, do not survive and stand disposed of.
