It is the case of the petitioners that Rikkala Achi Reddy Educational Society-4th respondent is running a Junior College without obtaining permission and affiliation from the Board of Intermediate Education. Therefore, 2nd and 3rd respondents are required to be directed to initiate necessary action against the 4th respondent. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and the learned standing counsel for 2nd and 3rd respondents. Learned standing counsel appearing for 2nd and 3rd respondents, on instructions, reports that a show cause notice was issued to the 4th respondent on 2.7.2008 as to why the closure of the junior college run by it should not be implemented. Since necessary action has already been initiated, the purpose of this writ petition is served out virtually. In that view of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the 2nd and 3rd respondents to pursue the show cause issued to the 4th respondent and pass appropriate orders as expeditiously as possible. Writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. No costs. __________ 10-07-2008 rkk
