RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.12899 OF 2011 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of September, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is the Manager of a school named Model High School, Pezhumkara in Palakkad District, which is an unaided recognised school. Initially sanction to recognise the petitioner's school was granted as per Ext.P1 order. Temporary recognition was granted by the District Educational Officer as per Ext.P2 order from 2005-08. 2. The petitioner had filed an application for permanent recognition before the Director of Public Instruction which is accepted in file No.A5-3926/2008 dated 19.08.2008. Ext.P3 is the true copy of the certificate issued by the District Educational Officer dated 22.06.2009 and Ext.P4 is the copy of the visit report of the District Educational Officer. Ext.P5 is the reminder submitted by the petitioner before the Director of Public Instruction seeking to grant permanent recognition. By Ext.P6, the Government required certain formalities to be complied with W.P.(C) No.12899/2011 2 for allotting a Centre in the school for the students to appear for the SSLC examination. 3. According to the petitioner, the school is being run on a provisional recognition and the school is entitled for permanent recognition. This is a matter for the Director of Public Instruction to consider. In that view of the matter, there will be a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on the application for permanent recognition submitted by the petitioner as evident from Exts.P3 to P5 within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment since it is pointed out that the school will have to take steps for the ensuing SSLC examination in March 2012. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
