HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.13593 of 2000 ORDER: The order under challenge in this writ petition is the proceedings of the District Educational Officer, Kadapa dated 23.05.2000, addressed to all Correspondents of Aided High Schools, Oriental, Arabic & Special Schools in the District bringing to their notice that the District Educational Officer, in his proceedings dated 24.04.2000, had requested that necessary proposals be submitted by electing the Secretary, Correspondent, Treasurer and President from among persons, other than Government servants, for his approval. The Correspondents were further informed that if the present Secretary/Correspondent, Treasurer was not a Government employee, he should submit a certificate to the effect that he is not an employee receiving salary from Government funds; and the said certificate should be countersigned by the Inspecting Officer concerned. While informing the Correspondents of Aided High Schools, Oriental, Arabic & Special Schools in the District that no such proposal had been received, even though more than two weeks had elapsed, the District Educational Officer again reminded them that proposals should be submitted on or before 31.05.2000 otherwise correspondence, with their signatures, would not be entertained. The said proceedings required all Deputy Educational Officers/Mandal Educational Officers/Deputy Inspectors of Schools not to entertain any correspondence with such of those Correspondents who were receiving salaries from Government funds. The petitioner herein claims that he is neither a Government servant nor does he receive salary from Government funds. If that be so, all that the impugned proceedings dated 23.05.2000 required of him was to submit a certificate to that effect countersigned by the Inspecting Officer concerned. The fact remains that, as a result of the interim orders passed earlier, the petitioner was not required to submit the prescribed certificate pursuant to the proceedings dated 23.05.2000. The impugned proceedings does not suffer from any illegality or infirmity necessitating interference in proceedings under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Leaving it open to the petitioner to submit the certificate as required in the proceedings dated 23.05.2000, after it is countersigned by the Inspecting Officials, the Writ Petition fails and is, accordingly, dismissed. However, in the circumstances, without costs. ____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J Date: 22.07.2010 MRKR
