THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.11455 of 2008 Dated: 29.09.2010 Between: Sri Balasiva Yogindra Maharaj @ Thota Eswara Vara Prasad. .. Petitioner. And The Government of A.P., Rep. by its Principal Secretary, Higher Education Department, Secretariat Buildings, Hyderabad, and another. .. Respondents. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.11455 of 2008 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in taking steps for starting a Government Degree College at Mydukur, where the petitioner-College is fully catering to the needs of the students of Mydukur, as illegal and arbitrary. There is no necessity of going into all the details. The establishment of a new college in a particular place is purely a matter of policy, which needs to be examined by the Executive but not by this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, and therefore, the writ petition is misconceived. However, in the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: “If the respondents propose to establish a new college at Mydukur, as alleged by the petitioner, they shall invite suggestions and objections from the existing Colleges of Mydukur, Kadapa District, including the petitioner College, and take appropriate decision as per law.” With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU,J 29.09.2010 v v
