Judgment text excerpt
The case examines whether the property of an educational institution vested in the State Government or if only its control and management were transferred under the Bihar Non-Government Secondary School (Taking Over Control and Management) Act, 1981. The appellants argued that the managing committee retained ownership of the property and the primary section of the school. The Supreme Court reviewed the High Court's finding that, pursuant to Section 4(1) of the Act, the property had vested in the state and that the institution did not qualify as a minority institution.
