ORDER
13-10-2026
1. Heard the learned counsel for the parties.
2. The grievance of the petitioners is the non-consideration of a public petition filed by the petitioners of Khudrahazara Village. Their prayer is for the change of the names of (i) Bhomolahati Health Sub-Centre, (ii) Sailendra Kumar Dutta High School, Bhomolahati and (iii) Bhomolahati Ayurvedic Hospital to Khudrahazara Health Sub- Centre, Sailendra Kumar Dutta High School, Khudrahazara and Khudrahazara Ayurvedic Hospital respectively.
3. The petitioners claim that the District Commissioner, Amingaon has duly certified that the Health Centre as well as High School and the Ayurvedic Hospital are situated at Khudrahazara. According to the petitioners, based on such certification/recommendation of the District Commissioner, Amingaon, the Education Department as well as the Health Department, Government of Assam has not taken any due correction.
4. A Writ Court cannot exercise of its power of judicial review determining the names of such institutions. It is the prerogative of the State.
5. In view of the aforesaid, this writ petition stands closed.
6. However, it is needless to say that if the petitioners pursuing their grievances before the appropriate authority, the same may be considered and disposed of.
7. It is made clear that this order shall not be treated as any comment on the rights of the petitioners to get the names changed.
