S.C.Chandra & Ors vs State Of Jharkhand & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the writ petition seeking mandamus for the release of Dearness Allowance (D.A.) and management control of a school run by Hindustan Copper Limited (HCL). The Court noted that the Bihar Non-Government Secondary Schools (Taking over of Management and Control) Act, 1981, governs the recognition and management of such schools, and the petitioners failed to establish their claims under this Act. The Court affirmed that the management of the school remained with HCL, and the State Government had not taken over the school as per the provisions of the Act.
