THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO. 21873 OF 2009 Dated 5th July, 2010 Between: J.R.P.Bhaskar …Petitioner And The Regional Joint Director of School Education And three others …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Sri P.Sridhar Reddy Counsel for respondents 1 to 3: AGP for Education Counsel for respondent No.4: None appeared The Court made the following ORDER: This writ petition is filed obviously on an incorrect premise that under Section 24(2) of the Andhra Pradesh Education Act, 1982 (for short “the Act”), the competent authority has to give its approval for change of Correspondentship. From a bare reading of Section 24(2) of the Act, it is evident that the management is required to intimate the nomination of a person, who manages the affairs of the institution, within 30 days thereof to the competent authority. The Act does not envisage any further action on the part of the competent authority on such intimation. Therefore, in my opinion, the relief claimed in this writ petition for a direction to respondents 1 and 2 to act on the intimation cannot be granted. Sri P.Sridhar Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner, however, submitted that as the District Collector has not approved the Correspondentship of the petitioner, the competent authority has not released the salaries through the newly appointed Correspondent. In my opinion, if the competent authority has not been releasing the salaries, that gives rise to a fresh cause of action to the petitioner. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to avail appropriate remedy in the event the competent authority has not been releasing the salaries on the mere ground that the District Collector has not approved the Correspondentship of the petitioner. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition, WPMP No.28411 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 5th July, 2010 vrn
