THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN W.P.No. 28662 OF 1997 DATE: 21-2-2007 Between: 1. N.J.S. Prakash Babu & 3 others …. Petitioners and 1. The Government of A.P. rep. By its Secretary, Education Dept, Hyderabad and 9 others .. Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN W.P.No. 28662 OF 1997 ORDER: Two teachers and two unemployed youth have filed the writ petition to declare the action of the respondents in not constituting governing bodies as contemplated in Rule 16 of the A.P. Educational Institutions Rules for each and every school under the management of CBCNC institutions as arbitrary, illegal and in violation of the provisions of the A.P. Education Act. In the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the unofficial respondents it is stated that since the petitioners are not directly concerned with the management of the institutions, they had no locus-standi to seek a direction to constitute the governing bodies for respondent-institutions. On a query from this Court as to the basis on which the petitioners claim to have the necessary standing to file the present writ petition, Sri M.Pandurangarao, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners, would fairly submit that nothing has been specifically averred in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition in this regard nor has any reply been filed to the counter affidavit. Since the petitioners admittedly did not have locus-standi to question the action of the respondents in not constituting the governing bodies for the schools run by CBCNC, the writ petition fails and is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ___________ 21-2-2007 asp
