The petitioner is an existing school established in Ramalingapur area of Nellore Town. On coming to know that a third party was proposing to establish a school in the name of Sri Chaitanya Techno School within a radius of 100 meters of the petitioner- School, it has sent a representation to respondent No.2 which was received on 23-04-2010. The petitioner averred that under Rule 4 of the A.P.Educational Institutions (Establishment, Recognition, Administration and Control of Schools under Private Managements) Rules, 1993, (for short ‘the Rules’), before granting permission for establishment of new schools, the educational needs of the locality and the population of the school going children in the locality shall be kept in view. According to the petitioner, there are in all six educational institutions within a radius of one kilometre in Ramalingapur area and that having regard to the population of the said area, there is no need for a new school to be established. The petitioner felt aggrieved by the action of respondent No.2 in not preventing the proposed school from making admissions in anticipation of granting of permission. After hearing the learned Assistant Government Pleader for School Education, I am of the view that respondent No.2 shall keep in view the objections raised by the petitioner in the light of the Rules in general and Rule No.4 in particular before considering the application for grant of permission to the proposed new school. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP No.12918 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous.
