THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/12/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 33197 of 2010 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 17th day of December, 2010. J U D G M E N T The petitioner's father was a sharer in respect of properties constituting the SNKLT school, Thalikulam, which is an aided school. On the death of his father, the petitioner became the owner of the share of his father in the school. The petitioner filed an application for transfer of management of the school in his name. The same was rejected by Ext. P1 order by the 2nd respondent on the ground that change of ownership of the petitioner's father's share was effected without prior permission from the Director of Public Instruction as provided under Rule 5A of Chapter III of KER. According to the petitioner, the said rule is not applicable to the petitioner's case, insofar as there is no transfer as and there is only the transmission of shares to the legal heir on the death of the original owner of shares. In the above circumstances, the petitioner has filed Ext. P2 appeal against Ext. P1 order before the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to dispose of Ext. P2 appeal expeditiously. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P2 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner. Sd/- S.
