THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM AND THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN W.P.No.6006 of 2009 BETWEEN; The A.P. Private (Un-aided) Schools Managements Association represented by its Convener ...Pettioner vs. The State rep. By the Principal Secretary to Government of A.P. And two others. ...Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM AND THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN W.P.No.6006 of 2009 ORAL ORDER: (Per GR,J) This writ petition by the A.P. Private (Un-aided) Schools Managements Association, is misconceved. In substance, a direction is sought to the respondent Nos.1 to 3 to prohibit the 3rd respondent and "other private educational institutions" from advertising and conducting a test on the ground that such test violates the provisions of the A.P. Educational Institutions (Establishment, Recognition, Administration and Control of Schools under Private Management) Rules, 1993 and the Andhra Pradesh Public Examinations (Prevention of Malpractices and unfair means) Act,1997 ( for short "the 1997 Act"). In Para.4 of the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, the petitioner illustrates the grievance by stating that the 3rd respondent has advertised promising fee remissions of 100%, 50% and 25% respectively for students who secure Excellent, Very Good and Good grades in the entrance examinations for classes VI to X. Section 7 of the 1997 Act prohibits any person connected with an educational institution or a tutorial institution from offering or promising any guarantee of performance or success at a public examiantion in advance as an inducement for admission into such educational or tutorial institution. This provision was considered by a learned Division Bench of this Court in W.P.No.12535 of 2005 and batch ( another public interest litigation). This Court in the judgment dated 03.04.2006 had observed that the provisions of Section 7 of the 1997 Act are comprehensive and have adequate provisions to deal with currently perceived malpractices and unfair means adopted by private eduational institutions in relation to public examinations. The alleged conduct of the 3rd respondent in providing fee remission incentives to students who perform well at entrance examinations for classes VI to X does not, in our considered view, constitute a transgression of Section 7 of the 1997 Act. In the above view of the matter, no case is made out for interference in this writ peition. Accordingly the writ petition is dismissed at the stage of admission. No costs. ______________ GODA RAGHURAM,J __________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J 10th AUGUST, 2009. TSNR
