GOVT.PLEADER A.J.VARGHESE THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/11/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ============== W.P.(C) NO. 32850 OF 2008 (I) ==================== Dated this the 7th day of November, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner submits that their High School has been granted recognition in 2006. Soon thereafter, following the increase in the students, it is stated that they applied for allowing an examination centre in the school. However, inspection was conducted by the officers of the 1st respondent's office. It is stated that deliberately, in order to ensure that student strength is found to be much lower than what it actually is, inspection was conducted during lunch break on 10/10/2008 and that the reduced strength was reported to the higher authorities. On the basis of the report so received, the 1st respondent has returned the request for allowing an examination centre in the school. As according to the petitioner, they were not getting justice from the 1st respondent, they have filed Ext.P10 before the 2nd respondent. 2. In this writ petition though substantial prayers are made seeking positive directions, since as at present, the matter is taken up before the 2nd respondent, I feel the 2nd respondent should be called upon to decide the issue, and if necessary, by getting an inspection conducted. 3. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the 2nd WPC 32850/08 :2 : respondent shall take up Ext.P10, if the same has been received and is pending. Ext.P10 shall be considered and orders passed thereon, at any rate within 4 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition before the 2nd respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
