THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24428 of 2005 DATED: 03-02-2006 Between: Darul-Uloom Educational Society, Tandur . . .Petitioner And District Educational Officer, R.R. District, and another . . .Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24428 of 2005 O R D E R: The petitioner is an Educational Society, which is said to have established Darul-Uloom High School at Tandur, Ranga Reddy District. On account of disputes among the Members of the Managing committee, the Government appointed the Depty Educational Officer, Vikarabad, as Special Officer for the school, on 12-04-2000. The petitioner states that the Special Officer, second respondent herein, is not issuing Transfer and Conduct Certificates to the students, who have studied in the School and on account of the same, the strength in the School has dropped from 600 to 250 and the students are put to great hardship. Reliance is placed upon the orders passed by this Court in WP.No.16581 of 2005. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for School Education. On an earlier occasion, an order was passed by this Court on 22-11-2005 directing that the second respondent shall take steps to issue Transfer and Conduct Certificates to the students, who have studied in the third respondent school. It is reported that despite such directions, several candidates have been denied and thereby, they were not able to pursue the higher studies or studies in any other institution. Issuance of Transfer or Conduct Certificates is an obligation on the part of the institution, and denial of the same amounts to violation of the rights of the students. The fact that the Government Official is appointed as a Special Officer, cannot constitute the ground to delay the issuance of such certificates. For the foregoing reasons, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that respondents 2 and 3 shall ensure that the applications filed by the students, who studied in the third respondent school, for issuance of Transfer and Conduct Certificates, be considered and disposed of, within a period of two weeks from the date of such presentation and any delay in this regard shall be treated as a factor to hold them responsible personally. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ (L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J) 3rd FEBRUARY, 2006. kvni
