This Writ Petition is filed by the Management of the School challenging the show cause notice issued by the Educational Authorities for failure to appoint the 4th respondent as Head Mistress based on Government order. However, it is seen that the Government Orders sought to be implemented was vacated by the learned Single Judge in WP(C) Nos.11114 & 26374 of 2004. Since the Government Orders violation of which led to disciplinary proceedings against the management did not survive, we allow the WP(C) by vacating the show cause notice and the impugned orders issued by the Government.
