THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.11322 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner claims to be the tutorial institutions functioning in and around Guntur. It is stated that they impart only informal tutorial education and not regular course of study. The State of Andhra Pradesh framed A.P. Tutorial Institutions (Registration and Regulation) Rules 1997 in exercise of powers under Section 32 read with Section 99 of the A.P. Education Act, 1982 providing rules for registration and regulation of tutorial institutions. The petitioner contends that though the rules were framed, the activity of registration is not being undertaken by the Government and that he is prepared to obtain registration as and when the respondents take steps in this regard. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents are preventing it from functioning, on the strength of the order passed by this Court in W.P.No.11007 of 2009 and batch dated 07-09-2009. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for School Education. The establishment of tutorial institutions is not prohibited under law. On the other hand, the Government framed rules for registration and regulation of such institutions. The order passed by this Court in W.P.No.11007 of 2009 and batch is in respect of unrecognized schools. Firstly, the petitioner does not answer the description of schools. Secondly, even assuming that the petitioner is indulging in any activity contrary to law, they can be proceeded against, only after issuance of show cause notice. No such steps were taken. Hence, the writ petition is allowed and the respondents are directed not to interfere with the activity of imparting informal tutorial education by the petitioner. It shall however, be open to them to issue notice and take further action, in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________________ JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA April 21, 2011 Pn THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.11322 of 2011 April 21, 2011 Pn
