VARGHESE THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/08/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: A.K. BASHEER, J. -------------------------- W.P.(C). NO. 22325 OF 2007 --------------------- Dated this the 9th day of August, 2007 J U D G M E N T Petitioners claim that they are working as Teachers in the Upper Primary Section of R V S M Higher Secondary School at Prayar, under the management of respondent No.4. 2. It appears that the controlling officer had found that certain divisions in the school had to be reduced since there was fall in student strength in the academic year 2005. Accordingly an order was issued by the officer concerned. Later, the super- check cell had also conducted an inspection and found that there were 123 bogus admissions. Though the manager had pursued the matter before the authorities including the revisional authority/the Government, he had not produced any document to substantiate his contention that there were no bogus admissions. Ext.P6 order was passed by the Government on March 28, 2007 rejecting the revision petition filed by the manager. A perusal of Ext.P6 order shows that the authorities had, after verifying the relevant records, found that three divisions and a post had to be WPC NO.22325/07 Page numbers abolished with effect from July 15, 2005 for the academic year 2005-06. It was further noticed by the Government that the school authorities had not utilised the chance afforded to them to furnish the details to the statutory authority concerned. It was in the above circumstances that the Government had rejected the revision petition filed by the manager. Even as on today, the manager has not challenged the above order. Petitioners, who are stated to be the teachers of the school, contend that there are materials to show the admissions were not bogus, as contended by the Department. It is seen from the records that Ext.P5 representation submitted by the petitioners taking up the above contention was also considered by the Government while passing Ext.P6 order. Having regard to the entire facts and circumstances, I do not find any merit in this writ petition. The writ petition is dismissed. A.K. BASHEER, JUDGE vps WPC NO.22325/07 Page numbers A.K.
