BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER, SRI.T.T.MUHAMOOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 07/04/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ======================= W.P.(C) No. 7113 of 2008(V) ======================= Dated this the 7th day of April, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner approaches this Court for a direction to the Government to allow petitioner's application for recognition of the petitioner's school. The learned Government Pleader submits that by the Supreme Court decision in State of Kerala v. Prasad [2007 (3) KLT 531], a new school cannot be recognised unless a notification is issued inviting applications issued by the concerned educational authorities and in this case there is no such notification. I am not inclined to go into that question now in so far as Ext.P16 application submitted by the petitioner is pending consideration. It is upto the Government to decide the question while considering Ext.P16, in accordance with law. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P16 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE jp
