BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER, SRI.A.J.VARGHESE THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/03/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ======================= W.P.(C) No.9920 of 2008(E) ======================= Dated this the 25th day of March, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner is aggrieved by Exts. P6 and P8 orders whereby the permission has been granted to the 4th respondent for transfer of management of A.M.U.P. School, Akkode. According to the petitioner, petitioner also has a right over the property comprised over the school and therefore, a person who sold the school to the 4th respondent namely, the petitioner's father does not have absolute right to the properties and management of the school. Despite the same, the respondents 2 and 3 have granted permission for transfer of management which according to the petitioner is patently illegal especially when a suit in respect of the complaint, dispute is pending in civil court. However, I find petitioner already moved the Government by filing Ext.P7 appeal. In the above circumstances, it is only proper that the Government to pass orders on Ext.P7, as expeditiously as possible. In the above circumstances, I dispose W.P.(C) No.9920/2008/E 2- of this writ petition with a direction tot he 1st respondent to pass orders on Ext.P7, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months, from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. It would be open to the petitioner to move the 1st respondent for stay of further proceedings pursuant to the impugned orders in which case the Government to pass orders on the stay petition within two weeks from the date when the petitioner moves for stay. The 1st respondent shall have given an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as the 4th respondent before passing orders on Ext.P7. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE jp
