SHRI.A.J.VARGHESE, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/12/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------- W.P.(C) No.35512 of 2008 ------------------------------------- Dated this the 9th day of December, 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioner's son is studying in the 3rd respondent school. It is stated that on the allegation that he had used a mobile phone, the student was proceeded against, and finally his parents were summoned to the School and Transfer Certificate was given. It is stated that on account of his removal from the School in the middle of the academic year, the student will not be in a position either to continue in the school or obtain admission elsewhere. In these circumstances, Ext.P5 representation has been made to the 1st respondent, praying that the student be permitted to continue in the school at least for this year. 2. Though learned counsel for the petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider Ext.P5, I feel the 2nd respondent is the appropriate authority to consider such W.P.(C) No.35512/2008 -2- a request and therefore, I direct that if the petitioner moves an application before the 2nd respondent within 10 days from today, the 2nd respondent shall consider the same as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three weeks thereafter. The petitioner will produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition before the 2nd respondent for compliance. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
