The grievance of the petitioner, who is an Advocate, in this Public Interest Litigation, is that as per the said Government Order, the students, who are studying in Matriculation Schools, have been left out in providing laptops and the students, who are studying in Government and Government Aided Schools, are getting laptops and that will amount to violation of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. 2. There is absolutely no basis on the part of the petitioner to seek such relief on the behalf of the Matriculation School Students. If the Matriculation School Students also demand such privilege to be given to them, it is for them to make a representation to the Government, in which event, it is for the Government to consider the same and pass appropriate orders. Further, these are all policy matters and as a matter of right, no one can claim the same. 3. In such view of the matter, giving liberty to the petitioner, as stated above, the Writ Petition stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petitions are also dismissed.
