By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondent no. 5 to include the name of the petitioner as life long member of the institution in accordance with amended scheme of administration as approved by the Director, School Education. According to the petitioner the term of the committee of management of the institution expired on 26-2-2009. The petitioner claims himself to be life long member and therefore, he has a right to participate in the election of committee of management of the institution. From a perusal of the record, it reveals that the election for the committee of management has been notified for the year 2010 2 fixing 27-2-2010 for election and the nominations have to be filed on 24-2-2010. No list has been published by the Election Officer for the election till today. The grievance of the petitioner is that he is life member and had participated in the earlier elections. The information was sought by the petitioner under the Right to Information Act 2005 and it appears that the name of the petitioner has not been included in the list of the members. Learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel appearing for the State has submitted that the writ petition be disposed of finally today without filing counter affidavit. In the case at hand, neither the tentative list of the Members eligible to participate in the elections has been prepared nor objections have been invited for preparation of final list of members. Moreover, the grievance of alleged Members can be verified from the record of the institution as well as the record of earlier elections. The objections shall be invited against the tentative list of members and the same shall be disposed of as per law. In the above facts and circumstances of the case, it is directed that the election shall be processed as per following Schedule. The tentative list of members shall be notified by 16-3- 2010.
