DATE : 22 nd November, 2010 PER COURT: 1 The petitioner challenges the permission granted in favour of Respondent No.4 dated 10.07.2003. 2 We have perused the affidavit-in-reply filed on behalf of the Respondent-State. Along with the affidavit, an order dated 24.06.2010, which has been passed by the Principal Secretary, School Education Department, in pursuance to the orders passed by this Court dated 15th April 2000, is also annexed. The Respondent-authority has given sound and cogent reasons as to why permission has been granted in favour of Respondent No.4 {2} and not in favour of the petitioner. It has been categorically stated that the school started by the Respondent No.4 was as per the permission granted on 10th July, 2003, whereas, the petitioner had started the school without obtaining prior permission from the competent authority. 3 In that view of the matter, in exercise of extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 226, no interference is warranted. 4 Writ Petition stands rejected.
