THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 22121 of 2005 Between: Rama Educational Society, Reptd by its Correspondent. ..... PETITIONER AND The Government of Andhra Pradesh, reptd By its Principal Secretary, School Education Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and another. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 22121 of 2005 ORDER: The petitioner intended to establish Telugu and Hindi Pandit Training Centres in Nellore District from the academic year 2004-2005 onwards. Accordingly, it submitted an application to the respondents on 25.02.2004. When the application was not processed, the petitioner approached this Court by filing W.P.No.6723 of 2004. The writ petition was disposed of on 08.04.2004, directing the respondents to pass appropriate orders on the application made by the petitioner expeditiously. It is represented that in pursuance of the orders issued by this Court, the second respondent has processed the application to a substantial extent and ultimately, requested the first respondent to pass final orders, after giving opportunity to the petitioner. Now, the grievance of the petitioner is that no steps have been taken thereafter though almost one year has elapsed. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for School Education. A perusal of the letter, dated 04.11.2004, addressed by the second respondent to the first respondent, discloses that he has examined the matter in detail and referred to the various proceedings, which have a bearing on the matter. He has ultimately requested the first respondent to take further steps for granting or rejecting the permission. When the entire preparatory work was already undertaken by the second respondent and the decision making is left to the first respondent, the latter ought to have taken further steps, particularly when there was a direction by this Court, to decide the entire matter expeditiously. Such a delay would deny the petitioner of an opportunity to establish the College year after year. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the first respondent to take further steps on the letter, dated 04.11.2004, addressed by the second respondent, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No order as to costs. __________ 07.10.2005 DR
