This court, after noticing the pathetic condition in which the school children were studying in Government High School, Chandragiri at Kasaragod, had taken note of the same by way of public interest litigation. Several orders were passed directing the District Educational Officer, Kasaragod to submit a report with regard to the infrastructure of the school. In the latest report, the District Educational Officer, Kasaragod is of the opinion that as of now the infrastructure of the school has been considerably improved. 2. In view of this development, for the present, we do not intend to continue with this public interest litigation. Accordingly, we close this public interest litigation, hoping that the State Government will continue to do whatever should be done to improve the further infrastructure of the school. Ordered accordingly.
