THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.20422 OF 2005 Dated 16th September 2005 Between: Chaithanya Educational Society, Rep.by its Secretary J.Yadagiri, Nalgonda, Nalgonda District. …Petitioner And The Government of A.P., rep.by its Prl.Secretary to Government, School Education Department, Hyderabad & another …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.20422 OF 2005 O R D E R: The petitioner is an educational society. It intended to establish a college for imparting training to Telugu and Hindi Pandits. It claims to have submitted a representation on 25.11.2004 to the first respondent, to accord permission under Section 20 of A.P. Education Act, for short “the Act”, for establishing such an institute. Its grievance is that no orders have been passed on the representation, and in certain selected cases, the respondents have accorded permission. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for School Education. Section 20 of the Act provides for grant of permission, for establishing educational institutions. The Government is expected to issue notification, inviting applications for establishment of educational institutions, at different levels. The question as to whether the application of the petitioner accords with the scheme under the Act, or whether any notification was issued for establishment of such colleges, needs to be considered by the first respondent. At any rate, when an application is made seeking permission, the same needs to be processed, if it accords with the relevant provisions, and deserves to be rejected, if it does not conform to the same. The application cannot be kept pending, indefinitely. For the foregoing reasons, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to pass appropriate orders on the application submitted by the petitioner on 25.11.2004, within a period, of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ 16th September 2005 PAN
