RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.17939 OF 2010 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 9th day of August, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is an applicant for grant of affiliation by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). They have also submitted an application before the Government for grant of No Objection Certificate for such affiliation. 2. Pursuant to the interim orders passed by this Court, inspections have been conducted by the CBSE and Ext.P10 communication has been issued thereafter. The petitioner seeks for a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 application seeking for grant of No Objection Certificate. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner brought to my notice a recent Government Order namely, G.O.(MS)No.137/2011/ G.Edn. dated 10.06.2011 whereby sanction has been accorded for granting No Objection Certificate for getting affiliation with CBSE/ICSE in accordance with the full-fledged guidelines which W.P.(C) No.17939/2010 2 are prescribed by the Government. Therefore, the grant of No Objection Certificate will be considered by the Government in terms of the above Government Order and also in terms of the guidelines to be issued in that regard. Appropriate decision will be taken by the Government after calling for the reports of the District Educational Officer or the Director of Public Instruction as the case may be within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. If No Objection Certificate is granted by the Government, the same will be produced by the petitioner before the CBSE for granting permanent affiliation. This writ petition is disposed of as above.
