J U D G M E N T The petitioner purchased the property with ownership of Mangattumuri A.M.L.P. School as per Exhibit P1 document. Subsequently, an application for transfer of Management with ownership in her favour was filed as per Exhibit P2 along with other required documents. The Assistant Educational Officer, by Exhibit P3, granted provisional approval for change of Management in favour of the petitioner. Exhibit P4 is the proceedings of the Assistant Educational Officer whereby the provisional approval has been cancelled on the ground that the petitioner has not produced the solvency certificate. Exhibit P5 shows that the Director of Public Instruction has rejected the proposal for transfer of Management. It is submitted by the petitioner that by Exhibit P7, the petitioner had given a reply. 2. The petitioner has filed Exhibit P10 revision petition along with Exhibit P9 solvency certificate. Exhibit P10 is pending W.P.(C) No.21828/2009 2 consideration before the first respondent. All that the petitioner requests is for a direction to the Government to take a decision on Exhibit P10 after hearing the petitioner. There will be a direction to the Government to take a decision on Exhibit P10, after hearing the petitioner, within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the school cannot function without a Manager and therefore, till a decision is taken by the Government, Exhibits P4 and P5 may be kept in abeyance. Therefore, till final orders are passed, the provisional approval granted to the petitioner to function as Manager will continue. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R.
