Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) Having heard learned counsel for the parties, I am of the considered view that no interference by this Court in the impugned order directing the closure of the petitioner-Schools which are being run in a residential premises, is called for. Suffice it to observe that the petitioners and/or for the matter any other educational institution, is obligated to have minimum basic infrastructure and facilities needed for the overall growth of the children. Since the present premises of the School is unable to cater the basic amenities for a school, the impugned order is fully justified. Faced with this, learned counsel for the petitioners submits C.W.P.No .7498 of 2007 2 that the petitioners, like the other schools which also used to be run in the residential premises, is entitled to the allotment of an alternative site by the U.T. Administration. However, no such relief having been sought in this writ petition, the same is disposed of with liberty to the petitioners to move an application for allotment of an alternative site, which the respondents are directed to consider and decide by passing a speaking order in accordance with the policy or the past precedents and also keeping in view the larger public interest, within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. With these directions, the writ petition stands disposed of. Dasti. October 04, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
