It is further stated, earlier, the name of Excellent Junior College was changed by the Management to that of Vikas Junior College, for which there is no recognition at all. In view of the statement made in the counter affidavit that there are no students so far as Excellent Junior College is concerned and even for the college, which is being run with the changed name i.e. Vikas Junior College also, there is no recognition, the relief sought for in this writ petition cannot be granted. The writ petition is devoid of merits and accordingly, the same is dismissed. No order as to costs. ____________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 28th June, 2005.
