You may file a petition before civil court in this regard. You are advised hereby hire the services ofyour local experienced civil lawyer.

You will have to file a suit for declaration and injunction. Before filing the suit you will have to issue notice to the concerned Dist, Commissioner who represents the state and Deputy Director of Public Instructions u/s sec 80 of CPC. After waiting period of 60 days of mandatory period you will have to file a suit.
There are two types of suits one is suit in persona and suit in rem.
Suit in persona means defendants are necessary and in suit in rem defendants are not necessary. The judgement and decree passed in suit in rem is applicable to whole world.
Now a days so many judges are unaware of suit in rem.
