At the hearing, there is no representation for the petitioner. I have heard the learned Government Pleader for School Education. Sri N. Siva Sankar, the Director of School Education, is personally present. This Court, by order, dated 09.07.2010, in Writ Petition No.14491 of 2003 while setting aside proceedings, dated 13.06.2003, of the Director of School Education after holding that clause 7(6) of G.O.Ms.No.75, dated 23.09.2002, is in direct conflict with Rule 12(8) of the A.P. Educational Institutions (Establishment, Recognition, Administration and Control of Schools under Private Managements) Rules 1993 (for short, “the Rules”) directed the respondent to consider the proposals afresh keeping in view sub-rule (8) of Rule 12 of the Rules and in the light of the recommendations made by respondent No.3 in the Writ Petition. As no order was passed, as directed by this Court, the present contempt case is filed. When the contempt case came up before this Court, it was reported that an order was passed rejecting the petitioner’s objections. However, on a perusal of the said order, it was prima facie felt that the same is in violation of the order of this Court. The respondent was present on 25.11.2011 as per the direction issued by this Court on 28.10.2011 on admitting the contempt case. He has requested for an adjournment for taking corrective steps. Accordingly, the contempt case was adjourned. Today, the respondent is again personally present and has placed before the Court proceedings Rc.No.2045/S2/2002, dated 29.12.2011, wherein he has reconsidered the earlier decision and accorded permission for the unaided posts mentioned in paragraph 1 of the said proceedings with effect from the year 1995-96 without aid. In the light of the corrective steps taken by the respondent, I do not find the necessity of continuing the contempt proceedings any longer. Accordingly, the contempt case is closed and the respondent is discharged from the contempt proceedings. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 30.12.2011 ES
