A division bench of Chief Justice Sanjay Karol and Justice Pararth Sarathi, while hearing a petition by Mohd. Alauddin Bismil, came down heavily on the government saying that “the government is shying away from placing on record the result of the investigation. It only says that reminders have been sent to the District Magistrates.

The bench said on Tuesday, “This is no explanation for not completing the investigation within a time-frame, especially when the government has registered at least 88 claims under the Registration of Madrasas Act in the year 2020 alone in Sitamarhi district.” The grant was cancelled.”

The order said, “The department shall by communication dated 17th September 2021 convene a meeting of all the chairpersons of the convicted criminals of the three members with further directions to complete the investigation on an expeditious basis. It will be ensured that it does not take more than four weeks.

The court said that the amount as grant-in-aid in favor of 609 teaching shall not be released until the individual verification is complete with regard to eligibility and compliance of statutory aspect of law and Govt.

The court also asked the police to expeditiously complete the investigation on the FIR registered in the matter and asked the police chiefs of the state to file an affidavit regarding the latest status report within two weeks.
