SRI.P.PARAMESWARAN NAIR,ASST.SOLICITOR FOR R1TO3&6 GP SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/05/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).12536/2009 -------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of May, 2009 JUDGMENT Petitioner, a practicing advocate in the Courts at Thiruvananthapuram, alleges that there is illegal selection of candidates in the Sainik School at Kazhakoottam for the academic year 2009-10. The further allegation is that the school authorities are conducting a re-medical examination for those candidates, who were originally found to be medically unfit. 2. I am not inclined to consider the petitioner's contentions on merits, since I am satisfied that the petitioner has no locus standi to institute the present writ petition. He is not the parent of a child who aspire for selection but was denied the same. For the same reason, he cannot impugn the selection of any other student as well. Parent of those students, who were either admitted in the Sainik school or who have not been admitted or who W.P.(C).12536/2009 2 entertain a grievance as regards the admission of any other students, are perfectly competent to take care of their interests. For all these reasons, I find no merit in the writ petition. Accordingly the same is dismissed. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
