Petitioner, in the capacity of Secretary of Jain Middle School, East Lohanipur and Bal Jagriti School Goriyawtoli, Patna, has prayed for quashing of the orders as contained in Annexures 17 and 18 by which respondents have rejected the representation of petitioner for allotting code number to the schools to enable their students to appear in the examination.

Learned counsel for the petitioner relies on some office orders of the Sub- Divisional Education Officer dated 31.12.1970, as contained in Annexures-1 and 1/1 and some orders dated 18.03.1987 of the same authority as contained in Annexures 2 and 2/1 allowing the schools to run classes of 8th from 01.01.1986 and contends that the schools had qualified for the purpose. This Court finds that the said documents are not enough to satisfy this Court that schools qualify and fulfil all the criteria for allotment of Code. In the circumstances, this Court does not find any merit in the writ application and the same is dismissed. BT (J. N. Singh, J.)
