THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/04/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ WP(C) NO. 13046 OF 2007 - C ------------------------------------- Dated this the 13th day of April, 2007 J U D G M E N T The petitioner filed an application before the State Government for issuance of a No Objection Certificate to enable them to obtain affiliation from the C.B.S.E for the school run by the petitioner-Committee. Their grievance in this writ petition is that although almost an year has elapsed since submission of the application (Ext.P1), no action has been taken so far by the first respondent for granting the No Objection Certificate. 2. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Government Pleader. 3. The learned Government Pleader submits that it is the second respondent who has to consider the matter. Whatever that be, I direct the second respondent or such other authority who is competent, to consider Ext.P1 application and pass appropriate orders thereon as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
