BY THE GENERAL SECRETRY V.ANNAMALAI VS. THE GOVERNMENT OF TAMIL NADU REP. BY ITS SECRETARY, SCHOOL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT FORT ST. GEORGE, CHENNAI) in which paragraph 15 reads as follows: "In our opinion, if any educational institution or Head Master or Teacher is aggrieved by the impugned G.O.Ms.No.13 dated 9.2.2005 they can file a writ petition in this Court challenging the same, but the appellant association had no locus standi in the matter. It cannot be said that the educational institutions or Head Masters are so poor that they are unable to approach this Court. If any particular educational institution or Head Master has a grievance against the impugned G.O.Ms.No.13 dated 9.2.2005 it is for such person to file a writ petition or writ appeal and not for any association. The writ appeal is dismissed on the ground of lack of locus standi. The writ petition is dismissed for the same reason. W.A.M.P. No.1384 of 2005 is dismissed." 4. the light of the ratio laid down by this Court in the above said judgment, this writ petition is dismissed. No costs.
