NO. 15514 OF 2007 --------------------- Dated this the 4th day of July, 2007 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is stated to be the President of the Society which is running Sree Narayana Vidyapeedom English Medium Upper Primary School, Kayamkulam. It is admittedly an unaided recognised institution. 2. It appears that Ext.P1 application has been submitted by the petitioner before the Government for permission to start high school section. Learned Senior counsel has invited my attention to the recommendations made by the educational officer concerned in Ext.P2 survey report. He further submits that there is educational need, particularly for an English medium High School in the area in question. In my view, these are all matters which have to be looked into by the Government in the light of the new guidelines issued by it, if they are applicable. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.1 to consider and take a decision on Ext.P1 application, that is stated to have been submitted by the petitioner for sanction to start high school section in the institution. An appropriate decision in the matter shall be taken in the light of the new guidelines issued by the Government expeditiously, after affording sufficient opportunity to the petitioner to be heard.
