Govt. is a Public Servant one of the duties

The Education Officer has been given prior notice and have cautioned him by the Bonafide Trusts Office bearers whose names are recorded in Schedule - 1 Register maintained with the Assistant Charity Commissioner Office, thereby informed that in the event of any unauthorized person(s) proposals to get approvals should not to be entertained. The Officer blindly approving the proposals to the unauthorized person claiming to be the Secretary of the Society. Therefore, he is performing his duties maliciously - with malafide intention thus helping the unauthorized persons to create documents.

I would suggest you to file a writ of Quo warranto against the Education Officer in the High Court having jurisdiction in the case.

You need to obtain prior permission from the State Government to prosecute any government official. Read section 197 of Cr. P. C.
