Case Note & Summary
The case involved an appeal by Imaan Muslim Education Minority Trust against the State of Gujarat regarding the cancellation of permission to register a secondary school. The Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board had initially granted permission on 20th October 2003, subject to certain conditions. However, this permission was cancelled on 5th March 2005, citing non-fulfillment of the conditions within the stipulated time. The cancellation was upheld by both a Single Judge and a Division Bench of the High Court. The appellant contended that the conditions had indeed been fulfilled before the cancellation order was issued. The Supreme Court, upon reviewing the case, found that the authority was not justified in cancelling the permission since the conditions were met. Consequently, the Court allowed the appeal, set aside the cancellation order, and all related orders.
