State Act

The West Bengal Urban Primary Education Act, 1963

This Act was repealed on a date we do not have by the West Bengal Primary Education Act, 1973 (West Bengal Act XLIII of 1973), s.105(1); it may still apply to matters that began before then.

8. (1) If the School Committee is satisfied that a guardian, who is required under section 7 to cause a child to attend a recognised primary school, has failed to do so, it shall, after giving a warning in writing to such guardian, apply to a Magistrate having jurisdiction for an order to compel the guardian to cause the attendance of such child, and the Magistrate shall fix a day for the hearing of the application and cause notice thereof to be given to such guardian. (2) On the day fixed for the hearing of the application or on any subsequent day to which it may be adjourned, and after hearing the guardian or his authorised agent, if present, the Magistrate, if satisfied that the facts alleged in the application are true, may pass an order directing the guardian to cause such child to attend a recognised primary school from a date to be specified in such order.
