According to the petitioner-Society, it made an application on 31.03.2005 seeking permission for establishing a Primary and Upper Primary School. It is stated that though the authorities concerned inspected the premises and even the Mandal Revenue Officer submitted a report, the respondents have not passed any orders perhaps on the premise that a writ petition was filed by third parties against the petitioner seeking a direction to the respondents not grant permission to the petitioner. It is stated that though the said writ petition was admitted, no interim orders were passed. Therefore, on the premise of pendency of the writ petition, the respondent- authorities are not acting upon the application of the petitioner. Hence, the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for School Education appearing for the respondents. The only grievance of the petitioner is that the respondent-authorities have not disposed of its application dated 31.03.2005. According to the petitioner, even though a writ petition was filed against it, there is no hurdle for the respondents for granting permission as no orders are passed restraining the respondents from granting permission. Under the above circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to consider the application of the petitioner on merits in accordance with law and pass appropriate orders as long as there is no prohibition by any orders restraining them from passing orders on the application of the petitioner. The said exercise is directed to be completed within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _______________ 11.08.2005 VGB
