Counsel for the Petitioners: MR.S.GIRIMOJI RAO Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR EDUCATION The Court made the following: ORDER: The 1st petitioner is working as a Record Assistant in the 2nd Petitioner School in an unaided post. The 1st petitioner contends that the 3rd respondent made recommendations for admission of certain private secondary schools for grant-in-aid to the 1st respondent, through the letter dated 28.10.1994. The 4th respondent also furnished certain information to the 3rd respondent relating to the 2nd petitioner school on 11.06.1994. The grievance of the petitioners is that the 1st respondent did not take any decision on the recommendations made by the high level committee, thereby the 2nd petitioner could not get grant-in-aid and the 1st petitioner could not get himself absorbed into an aided post. 2. The question of considering the candidature of the 1st petitioner arises only after sanction of the grant-in-aid post. So far as the 2nd petitioner is concerned, the 1st respondent ought to have taken decision on the recommendations of the high level committee. The 1st respondent is, therefore, directed to pass appropriate orders on the recommendations of the high level committee, dated 28.10.1994 at an early date, regarding the admission of the 2nd petitioner school for grant-in-aid. 3. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. No order as to costs. dsr ASSISTANT REGISTRAR To: 1.
