B.Ed., College, Nellore district, Represented by its Correspondent, Sri P.Abraham Lincon … Petitioner Versus The Director of School Education, Hyderabad &Anr. … Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri N.Sreedhar Reddy Counsel for the Respondents: Govt.Pleader for School Education O R D E R : This writ petition is filed seeking to declare the action of the respondents in not granting minority status certificate to the petitioner for the academic year 2005-06 pursuant to the application made by the petitioner on 04-1-2006, as illegal, arbitrary and consequently direct the respondents to forthwith consider the application dated 04-1-2006 of the petitioner by granting minority status certificate for the academic year 2005-06. It is stated that the petitioner is imparting education in B.Ed., course and for grant of minority status certificate, the petitioner-institution has submitted an application on 04-1-2006 before the first respondent and the first respondent after making due inspection sent a report to the second respondent for grant of minority status certificate. But the second respondent has yet to consider the said report submitted by the first respondent. Having regard to the facts of the case, if the minority status certificate is not granted in favour of the petitioner by the Government the right of the petitioner to admit the B.Ed., students of its choice may be deprived and accordingly I consider it appropriate to direct the second respondent to consider and dispose of the application of the petitioner dated 04-1-2006 keeping in view of the report sent by the first respondent and pass appropriate orders within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and till then the first respondent is directed not to allot B.Ed., students to the petitioner-college. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of at the admission stage. No costs. MARCH 2nd, 2006. ------------------------ I s L. V. ESWARAIAH , J. * N.B. Furnish CC in two days. B/o IsL.
