It is stated that the issue regarding recognition to the school is pending consideration of the 1st respondent and in the previous years the authorities granted permission to the school authorities to grant transfer certificates to the students who completed 4th standard from the school. However, according to the petitioner, during the present year such permission has not been granted and 19 students who had completed 4th standard are put in a very difficult situation. It is complaining of this, the petitioner has filed Ext.P8 representation before the authorities including the 1st respondent and in this writ petition the relief sought for by the petitioner is a direction to the 1st respondent to take up and consider Ext.P8 representation. 2. If, as stated by the petitioner, Ext.P8 representation has WP(C) 13317 of 2008 Page numbers been received and in view of the specific contention raised that in the previous year, based on the orders of the 1st respondent, transfer certificates have been granted, I see no justification to decline the relief sought for. 3. Accordingly the writ petition is disposed of directing that the 1st respondent shall consider and pass orders on Ext.P8 representation, if the same has been received and is pending before the 1st respondent. Orders on Ext.P8 shall be passed as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within six weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE mt/-
