Heard Shri.M.V.Bose, learned counsel appearing for the review petitioner. 2. Writ Petition was disposed of directing the Government to consider petitioner's prayer for additional course in the Higher Secondary School. The School being an aided school, the Government took the defence that it's financial position does not justify additional burden created by managements. The review is filed stating that in spite of Government's stand taken in the review petitioner's case, they have granted additional courses to other schools. Even though there is force in the contention of the review petitioner and their claim is true, still we feel the review petition has become R.P.No.645/2003 in OP No.13986/2003 -2- infructuous because of elapse of 7 years from the date of filing it. Additional courses and new classes are granted in the aided sector based on the policy of the Government, which is changed on a year to year basis. Therefore, it is for the review petitioner to apply for additional courses, if eligible under the new policy and guidelines of the Government. With this observation, we close this review petition.
