PC: PC: PC: . Heard. 2. The petitioner is a member of the school board. His grievance is that there is no Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the school board of the respondent-corporation. The names of the members of the school board have been already notified and published in the Government gazzette dated 26th September, 2008, however, two nominees of the Government have not been nominated and, therefore, meeting of the school board has not been convened to elect the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the school board. We find earlier there was writ petition No.3060 of 2008 which was disposed of on 19th June, 2008 wherein six weeks time was granted to the Government to -2- make nominations of two members on the school board. However, inspite of that the Government has not made nominations. We need not go into difficulties of the Government, however, the fact remains that inspite of directions and specific time granted, the Government has not made nominations. We find that the school board cannot be left without Chairman and Vice-Chairman and, therefore, the meeting of the school board will have to be called and the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the school board is to be elected as provided under the Rules and, therefore, we direct that the school board shall by giving directions to the respondents shall convene and hold meeting of the school board in accordance with Rule 10. Time which is mentioned in the said rule shall start to run from today and, accordingly, the time calculation shall be carried out and Rule 10 be implemented by holding a meeting of the board which is already constituted except two nominated members, to be appointed by the Government. 3.
