Srinagar, July 26 (Newswire): Prompted by the show cause notice served for failing to clear "mammoth land lease arrears", the Tyndale Biscoe and Mallinson School authorities appeared before the administration and pleaded their case.
Sources said the school management called on the District Magistrate Er Farooq Ahmed Shah and other officials at least twice and held detailed discussions.
Last week the Assistant Commissioner Nazool Syed Sajad Qadri had served the notice to "Principal and Director, Tyndale- Biscoe & Mallinson Society, Srinagar Parwez Samuel Kaul", as to why action should not be initiated against the school for failing to clear the arrears.
"Whereas on calculations of the rent as per the sanction of renewal of lease and subsequent modification and the lease agreements, the Tyndale-Biscoe and Mallinson schools has a mammoth arrears pending amounting to Rs. 1999096 (approx. subject to further calculations & verifications) till date," reads a copy of the show cause notice adding that the school was supposed to pay Rs 500 per kanal for the 100 odd kanal prime land.
"Whereas, despite the fact that there was no formal lease agreement in 2004, the Assistant Commissioner Nazool vide no. 501/N/WBN dated 28-02-2004 and vide no. CAN/Ps/63 dated 24-03-2004 issued notices to the Principal Tyndale-Biscoe School to pay the outstanding rent as on that date but still there was no response," the notification adds. The school management confirmed to have appeared before the administration and pleaded their case.
The government has been saying that the land leased out to this and some other schools was given for "charity meaning non-profit purpose." "Such institutions as per the section 4 of Land Grants Act, are supposed to be a registered charitable society established for a non-profitable purpose," an official said.
Meanwhile, the Divisional Commissioner Kashmir Shailendra Kumar is understood to be finalizing modalities that the schools operating from Nazool land keep reservation for the "underprivileged sections of the society."
The administration pleads that the schools given Nazool land for "peanuts of annual fee" are supposed to work for "charity as non-profitable organization."
