1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. WRIT PETITION NO. 5298 OF 2009 (National Women's Welfare Society .v. The State of Maharashtra and others) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's Orders and Registrar's orders. CORAM : D.B. BHOSALE AND PRASANNA B. VARALE, JJ. 07TH JUNE, 2010. Heard Shri M.R. Joharapurkar, learned Counsel for the petitioner and Shri A.S. Parihar, learned AGP for the respondents. By this writ petition, the petitioner/institution has challenged the order/communication dated 31.10.2008 by which the petitioner's proposal for opening of Higher Secondary School (Junior College) has been rejected. The proposal was made by the petitioners for the academic year 2008-2009. With the passage of time, in our opinion, this petition has become infructuous and it deserves to be dismissed as infructuous. Order accordingly. Dismissal of the writ petition, however, shall not preclude the petitioners from making fresh application seeking permission to open Higher Secondary School for the next academic year. If the petitioners make such an application within a period of two weeks from today, the same may be considered on merit in accordance with law expeditiously. While making these observations, we shall not be understood to have examined the claim of the petitioners and the concerned authority shall deal with their application on merit and uninfluenced by in this order.
