THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.18832 of 1998 Dated 28-03-2007 Between: The A.P. Private Nursing School Management Association, Hyderabad. …Petitioner And The Principal Secretary, Medical, Health & Family Welfare Department, Govt. of A.P. and another …Respondents. THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.18832 of 1998 ORDER: Petitioner is an Association of Managements of A.P. Nursing Schools. This writ petition is filed with a prayer to declare the action of the respondents in preventing the managements of the private nursing schools from issuing advertisements, for selection of candidates against the 50% management quota, as prescribed under G.O.Ms.No.139, dated 14-05-1998; as illegal. After making reference to the said G.O., the petitioner contends that it is open to the respective managements of the nursing schools, to take initiative for inviting applications from the candidates against the seats earmarked for the managements. The respondents filed counter affidavit, stating that such a course is impermissible. On hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and on verification of the record, this Court is of the view that the cause of action, as pleaded in the writ petition; does not survive, in view of the substantial change, as to admission procedure, that has taken place, ever since the writ petition was filed. Hence, the writ petition is closed, leaving it open to the petitioner to follow the existing procedure, and work out their remedies, if any grievance subsists. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.28-03-2007. KO
