Patna High Court

S. M. Zaheer Alam Teachers Training CollegeversusProf. Kshiti Bhusan Das

Decided: 18 March 2026
Disposal: D.F.D. (PRE-EMPTORY)
Bench: ALOK KUMAR SINHA

Holding

The petition is dismissed for non‑compliance with the earlier court order.

Summary

The petitioner, S. M. Zaheer Alam Teachers Training College, filed a writ petition against the Chairperson of the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) and the Regional Director of the Eastern Regional Committee of NCTE. The petition sought relief concerning matters presumably related to teacher education regulations. The court had earlier issued an order on 03-02-2026 directing certain compliance. The petitioner failed to comply with that previous order. Consequently, the court, after hearing counsel for both sides on 18-03-2026, dismissed the petition for non‑compliance. The dismissal underscores the court's emphasis on adherence to procedural directives.

Issues considered

What relief, if any, is available to the petitioner for the alleged grievance against NCTE officials?
Whether the petitioner's failure to comply with the previous court order warrants dismissal of the writ petition?
