Basheer, J: Petitioner is stated to be the Manager of an unaided unrecognised school. The primary prayer in this writ petition is to issue a writ of mandamus or such other appropriate writ or direction to respondents 1 to 4 to upgrade the petitioner's institution as a high school.. 2. When this writ petition came up for consideration, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader that the present policy of the Government is not to accord recognition to unrecognised schools or to upgrade any existing unrecognised schools. That being the settled policy decision of the Government , we do not find any reason to entertain his writ petition at this stage. 3. Accordingly the writ petition is closed. However we make it clear that it will be open to the petitioner to question the legality or otherwise of the policy decision of the Government, if he so desires. H.L. DATTU Chief Justice A.K. BASHEER Judge an.
