Girls Junior College, Godavarikhani, Karimnagar District to shift their institution and conversion of the college from girls to co-education and so also change of management. 2. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent-Board. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the colleges imparting intermediate course in Godavarikhani are not able to secure full compliment of the strength and in which case granting permission to another institution to run intermediate course may lead to unhealthy competition. A further submission has been made that the petitioners submitted a representation, dated 26.05.2008 to the respondent-Board detailing various G.Os. with regard to establishment of educational institutions and the particulars with regard to intake capacity of all the junior colleges in Godavarikhani. 4. Learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent-Board submits that as on this day no permission has been sanctioned to any institution to start intermediate course in Godavarikhani, Karimnagar District. 5. A fact remains that the petitioners submitted representation dated 26.05.2008 to the respondent-Board detailing the particulars with regard to intake capacity of all the junior colleges in Godavarikhani, Karimnagar District. Such is the situation, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondent-Board to consider the representation submitted by the petitioners and pass appropriate orders thereon as expeditiously as possible before granting any permission to any institution to start intermediate course in Godavarikhani, Karimnagar District. 6. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of at the admission stage. No costs. ______________________ B.SESHASAYANA REDDY, J. Date:13th June, 2008. cs .....
