13-07-2026 ct no. 13 Sl. 30 sp F.M.A. 637 of 2025 Nilmani Banerjee -Versus- The State of West Bengal & Ors. Mr. Sourav Prasanna Mukherjee. …for the Appellant. Mr. Sahasrangshu Bhattacharya, ld. A.G.P., Ms. Mary Datta. ..for the State. 1. The appeal is directed against judgment and order dated 3rd March, 2025 passed by a Single Bench of this Court in WPA 979 of 2025. 2. In the writ petition the grievance expressed is that there were irregularities in the mid-day meal scheme implementation at the Lodna Mankhamar Vivekananda Vidyamandir High School, Bankura. The Single Bench dismissed the writ petition primarily on the ground that the petitioner’s ward was not a student of the school. The petitioner himself was nowhere connected with the school since he was part of the erstwhile managing committee of the school. 3. This Court notes that the locus of the petitioner being seriously questionable, he could not have filed an application under Group-II of the classification Rules of this Court. The grievance of the petitioner, if any, could have been agitated at best in a PIL. 4. It, however, appears from the records that on the complaint of the petitioner, the District Magistrate, Bankura caused an enquiry and passed an order on 19th December, 2024. No irregularities were found in the mid-day meal scheme of the school in question by the District Magistrate. The writ petition could not have been filed in the first place by the petitioner. The Single Bench should have imposed costs on the filing of such frivolous writ petition. 5. Hence, FMA 637 of 2025 shall stand dismissed with costs assessed at Rs. 5,100/- payable by the appellant to the office of the District Magistrate, Bankura. 6. Consequently, all connected pending applications shall also stand dismissed. 7. All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court.
