Justice Chandra Dhari Singh dismissed the plea filed by Independent School Federation of India after noting that Chibber fulfils the criteria for the post.
“In the instant case, this Court is not inclined to issue a writ of Quo Warranto, as no prima facie case is made out by learned counsel for the petitioner and the respondent no. 3 (Chibber) has the qualification to be appointed as the Chairperson, Central Board of Secondary Education. In view of the foregoing discussion, this Court is of the view that the instant writ petition filed by the petitioner is nothing but a gross misuse of process of law. Accordingly, the instant petition, alongwith pending application, stands dismissed,” the order stated.
