MEERA THIS WRIT APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/03/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: WA 591/07 1 K.S. RADHAKRISHNAN, Ag. C.J. & M.N. KRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Writ Appeal No 591 of 2007 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dated: 6th March 2007 JUDGMENT Radhakrishnan, Ag. C.J. Appellant has approached this court challenging Ext. P13 order passed by the Government. Government after considering all the aspects of the matter found that the appellant has participated in the auction representing the majority of the shareholders and not on his individual capacity. Government rejected the argument of the appellant that if all the members in the group are joined change of management can be effected. Taking note of all the aspects of the matter Government allowed the appeal filed by the fifth respondent and quashed the order of the Director of Public Instruction and the Deputy Director of Education was directed to scrutinise the bylaw submitted on merits and approve the same if otherwise in order. Learned single judge found no infirmity in Ext. P13 order. In the facts and WA 591/07 2 circumstances of the case, we find no reason to take a different view. Learned single judge is justified in rejecting the writ petition. Appeal lacks merits and the same would stand dismissed. Sd/- K.S. RADHAKRISHNAN Ag. Chief Justice Sd/- M.N.
