JUDGMENT Ravi Malimath, A.C.J. (Oral) Office defects are overruled. 2. Aggrieved by the order dated 06.10.2020 passed by the learned Single Judge in dismissing Writ Petition (M/S) No.655 of 2019, the petitioners are in appeal. 3. The plea of the petitioners was to quash the impugned order dated 30.07.2018 passed by the Secretary, School Education, Government of Uttarakhand, refusing to include the intermediate college of the petitioners in the list of grant-in-aid. 4. In considering the contentions, the learned Single Judge was of the view that the petitioners could not show any legally enforceable right for getting financial aid from the State Government. 5. In fact, we asked the same question to the learned counsel for the appellants in this appeal. We do not find any answer to the contrary. The ‘grant-in-aid' is a word which itself suggests an aid. ‘Aid' means something which is given and cannot be demanded. Therefore, the demand of the appellants-writ petitioners for grant-in-aid, in our considered view, does not have any legal sanctity. There is no legal right of the petitioners that has been infringed by denial of the grant-in-aid. 5. The order of the learned Single Judge, in our considered view, is just and appropriate and does not call for any interference. 6. The appeal is dismissed.
