P.C. : P.C. : P.C. : Having considered the matter, we are of the view that the petitioner cannot be discriminated by the respondents in respect of recognition of Mahatma Phule Vidhyalaya, Nimgaon Ketaki, Taluka Indapur, Dist. Pune. The petitioner has to be treated equally as per the Government policy for recognition of secondary schools on non-grant basis. Though the respondents have recognised the Mahatma Phule Vidhyalaya, Nimgaon Ketaki, Taluka Indapur, Dist. Pune on a permanent non-grant basis, we clarify that as and when Government Policy is modified or changed, as per the changed policy the petitioner shall be entitled to the consideration of the case as regards the grant and the fact that the petitioner’s school has been recognised on permanent -: 2 :- non-grant basis shall not be a ground for treating the petitioner’s school differently. In other words, for all practical purposes, the recognition of petitioner’s school on permanent non-grant basis has to be read and understood as recognition of petitioner’s school on non-grant basis. 2. With the aforesaid clarification this petition is disposed of. Sd/- (R. M. LODHA, J.) (R. M. LODHA, J.) (R. M. LODHA, J.) Sd/- (NARESH H. PATIL, J.) (NARESH H. PATIL, J.) (NARESH H. PATIL, J.)
