It is submitted that the management version has also not been considered while passing the impugned order. 4.

Learned counsel has placed reliance on directions issued by this Court in Writ Petition No. 8716 of 2002, Committee of Management Sri 108 Swami Naga Nirwan Ji Maharaj Inter College, Hanswa, Fatehpur versus State of U.P. and others as well as directions issued in Writ-C No. 15968 of 2015, Committee of Management Sri Gokul Prasad Balika Uchchatar Madhyamik and another versus State of U.P. and others. 6.

Learned State counsel on the basis of counter affidavit submits that despite opportunities having been granted to petitioners' institution, relevant details and facts as well as documents were never furnished. 8.
