Heard learned counsel for the parties. 5. The order dated 23rd of March, 2015 passed by the learned Single Bench of this Court in C.W.J.C. No. 4230 of 2015 is subject matter of challenge in the present Letters Patent Appeal. In the writ application, the challenge to the order dated 3rd of May, 2013 passed by the Director, Secondary Education remained unsuccessful. 6. A Public Interest Litigation was filed bearing C.W.J.C. No. 1402 of 2013 (Chathu Prasad Singh & Anr. v. The State of Bihar & Ors.) for a direction to upgrade Sardar Patel High School, Balbhadrapur, Kurhni, Muzaffarpur so that unprivileged students of the locality have access to the basic human rights. In such writ application, an affidavit was filed by the District Education Officer indicating that a spot inquiry was conducted and it was found that the appellant school is in dilapidated condition and no education is imparted and that District Education Officer has made a recommendation to cancel the code allotted to the appellant school. It is thereafter, on 3rd of May, 2013, the impugned order as in the writ application was passed. 7. Learned counsel for the appellant has vehemently argued that the stop inspection was conducted at the back of the appellant and that the order dated 3rd of May, 2013 has been passed without giving any opportunity of hearing to the appellant. 8. We find the contention of the appellant to be meritorious. An order which affects the civil rights including such a right to run educational institution cannot be passed without giving opportunity of hearing to the affected persons. Since such an order was passed without giving any opportunity of hearing to the appellant, we find that the action of withdrawal of the approval to establish the school is unjustified. 9. An order which affects the civil rights including such a right to run educational institution cannot be passed without giving opportunity of hearing to the affected persons. Since such an order was passed without giving any opportunity of hearing to the appellant, we find that the action of withdrawal of the approval to establish the school is unjustified. 9. Therefore, we order that the communications dated 3rd of May, 2013 will be treated as the show-cause notice to the appellant. The appellant may submit its response to the said show-cause notice in respect of infrastructure available etc. within 30 days from today to the Director, Secondary Education. After considering the reply filed, the competent authority shall proceed to pass an appropriate order in accordance with law. 10. The Letters Patent Appeal stands disposed of accordingly.
