THE STATE OF KERALA REPRESENTED BY THE SECRETARY, GENERAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, GOVERNMENT SECRETARIAT, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. 2. THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTIONS, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER, SRI.A.J.VARGHESE THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ======================= W.P.(C) No. 37131 of 2007 (U) ======================= Dated this the 3rd day of January, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner is an association claiming to represent various unaided private schools, details of whom are mentioned in Ext.P1. The association seeks the following reliefs: " i. Issue a writ of mandamus or other appropriate writ order or direction, commanding the respondents to consider the grant of recognition to the petitioner's member school notwithstanding the policy, as this Hon'ble Court has struck down the same. ii. Issue a writ of mandamus or other appropriate writ order or direction commanding the respondents to grant permission to conduct examination and TC up to VI standard provisionally until such time the Govt. takes the decision of grant of recognition to the petitioner's member schools." 2. I am of the opinion that such reliefs cannot be entertained at the instance of the association since these reliefs W.P.(C) No. 37131/2007/U -2- are individual in nature and has to necessarily depend on the fulfilment of requisite conditions by each individual school. Therefore, for these reliefs only individual schools can file writ petitions. Therefore, this writ petition is dismissed as not maintainable. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE jp
