RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ W.P.(C). No.26317/2011-L ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 12 th day of October, 2011 J U D G M E N T The writ petition is one regarding the election to the Executive Committee of the Parents-Teachers Association and the election to the office of the President of the P.T.A of A.V.U.P School, Madanthocod which is under the jurisdiction of the third respondent. According to the petitioner, he was the elected President of the P.T.A for the year 2010-11. As per Ext.P1 notice a General Body of the P.T.A was convened to elect the new Managing Committee. It appears that there were certain differences with regard to the election of the President and according to the petitioner, the election was not held on that day. But, it is his case that by manipulating the minutes it is recorded that members of the Executive Committee were elected and petitioner's name is also included. The petitioner relies upon Ext.P3 on this context. Now, the petitioner finds that the fifth respondent is acting as the President of the P.T.A. It is in these W.P.(C). No.26317/2011 -:2:- circumstances, he has approached this Court after filing a representation before the third respondent in the matter. Exts.P5 and P6 are the representations filed before the second and first respondents highlighting the disputes. 2. The learned Government Pleader on getting instructions submitted that a report has been received from the fourth respondent-Headmistress on 07/10/2011 and the stand taken by the learned Government Pleader is that the election of the fifth respondent has already been approved by the Executive Committee and the Headmistress. According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, the Headmistress is also acting in tune with the fifth respondent to manipulate the records. 3. I am not finally pronouncing on the said aspects. The Assistant Educational Officer will have to consider Ext.P4 representation with notice to all the parties. There will be a direction to the Assistant Educational Officer to consider the same and pass an order with notice to the petitioner, respondent Nos.4 and 5 and other Executive Committee members W.P.(C). No.26317/2011 -:3:- within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. Sd/- (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms
