School (English Medium) Kaliyur, Manjeswar, Kasaragod District. They are seeking a direction to the Government to grant recognition to the school under the Kerala Education Rules. Admittedly, the manager of the school has already filed a writ petition seeking the very same relief. As such, I am opinion that the remedy of the petitioner lies in getting themselves impleaded in that writ petition, if they are legally entitled to and support the manager in that writ petition. Therefore, without prejudice to such right, if any, this writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge 2
