Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.K.S.GOPALA KRISHNAN Counsel for the Respondent Nos.1 to 3: GP FOR SCHOOL EDUCATION The Court made the following : O R D E R: The petitioner seeks a declaration that the alleged inaction on the part of the respondents 1 and 2 in taking action against the third respondent-Institution for the advertisement issued by it, which is alleged to be in violation of Rule 4(1) (b) of the Andhra Pradesh Educational Institutions under Private Management Rules 1993, is arbitrary and illegal. Since admittedly the representation made by the petitioner to that effect on 22-01-2005 is pending before the District Educational Officer, Chittoor (the second respondent), I am not inclined to go into the correctness of the allegations made by the petitioner. Instead, I deem it appropriate to direct the 2nd respondent to pass appropriate orders on the application of the petitioner expeditiously. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to the second respondent to consider the representation dated 22-01-2005 made by the petitioner and to pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law on or before 05-02-2005 after affording due opportunity to the third respondent. No costs. ________________ ( G.
