( 1 ) THESE are two identical connected writ petitions by which the order dated 19-6-1997 passed by the District Inspector of Schools (for short dios), Azamgarh has been challenged. The difference in the two writ petitions is that over and above the relief claimed in Civil Misc. Writ No. 21044 of 1997, an additional prayer for appointing the Authorised Controller to manage the affairs of the institution during the pendency of the writ petition has been made in the subsequent writ petition No. 26286 of 1997. Since the controversy involved in the two writ petitions requires scrutiny of the validity or otherwise of the same order and the pleadings of the parties are almost identical, it is proposed to decide these two writ petitions together by this common judgment. Reference to various annexures is with regard to the documents filed in Civil Misc. Writ No. 21044 of 1997.
