To Judge ANTONY DOMINIC, J ................................................ W.P.(C).13991/2011 .............................................. Dated this the 18th day of August, 2011 JUDGMENT Petitioner claims to be a Charitable Society which has established a Special School by name “Santwanam” at Karunagappally, for mentally retarded children. According to the petitioner, at present, Karunagappally Municipality is taking steps to start another Special School near to the petitioner's School. This, according to the petitioner, is in violation of the “distance rule”. Nothing has been placed on record to indicate that there is any “distance rule” as sought to be made out by the petitioner. In such circumstances, I am not satisfied that even if School is established as proposed by the Municipality same will be illegal for any reason. Therefore, this Court will not be justified in granting the relief sought for. Writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, Judge mrcs
