Section 8 of the said Act, reads as follows:- “8. Jurisdiction, Power and authority of the Jharkhand Education Tribunal- Save as otherwise expressly provided in this Act, the Jharkhand Education Tribunal shall exercise on and from the appointed day, all the jurisdiction, powers and authority exercisable immediately before that day by all the courts (Except the Jharkhand High Court and Supreme Court of India) Regarding : (a) Matters concerning recruitment to any post or posts and the matters related therewith in connection with the affairs of the educational institution; (b) All matters concerning the service conditions of employees of the educational institutions; (c) Grievances of the employees against the management of the educational institutions; (d) Grievances of the guardians and parents of students against the management of the educational institutions regarding teaching standards, fee structure infrastructural facilities, development works and allied matters related thereto; (e) Such matters relating to educational institutions as may be referred to the tribunal by the State Government by notification from time to time.” 4. This preliminary ground has also been taken by the Jharkhand Academic Council in their counter affidavit. 5. Thus, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition. 6. Accordingly, the instant writ petition stands dismissed with a liberty to approach the Jharkhand Education Tribunal. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 24th November, 2025 R.S./ uploaded on 02.12.2025
