Those letters are brought on record by the petitioners by carrying out the amendment. Under those letters, the 2nd petitioner is to be absorbed in Wilson Junior College, Girgaon, Mumbai and the 3rd petitioner is to be absorbed in B.E.S. Menon Junior College, Bhandup, Mumbai. As far as the 2nd and 3rd petitioners are concerned, there is no reason to continue this petition any further. 3. As far as the other grievances, namely, that respondent Nos.1 and 2 are purposely reducing the strength of the students and that their action is mala fide are concerned, although we record the denial of these allegations by Mr.Naidu appearing for respondent Nos.1 and 2, it will be open to the 1st petitioner to raise these grievances, if any such occasion arises. No need to interfere with those grievances in the present petition. The petition is dismissed. (H.L. GOKHALE, J.) (H.L. GOKHALE, J.) (H.L. GOKHALE, J.) -3- (S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J.)
