BY ADV. SRI.K.M.SATHYANATHA MENON RESPONDENTS: --------------------- 1. THE PRINCIPAL SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT, GENERAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. 2. STATE OF KERALA REPRESENTED BY THE SECRETARY, GENERAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, SECRETARIATE, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI. A.J. VARGHESE, THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 05/11/2007 ALONG WITH WPC NO. 28797 OF 2007 AND CONNECTED CASES, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P.(C)Nos.27739,28779,28793, 28797,29273,29341,29406,29407, 29431,29450,30117,30488,30494, 30714,30782,31703,31906,32241, 32245,32635,32662 & 32725 OF 2007 --------------------------------------------- Dated this the 5th day of November, 2007 JUDGMENT In all these writ petitions the petitioners seek consideration of their applications for No Objection Certificate in respect of their schools for the purpose of obtaining affiliation from the CBSE. The Government issued revised guidelines for considering such applications which revised guidelines have been set aside by a learned Single Judge of this Court in W.P. (C) No. 18846 of 2007. Against the same, the Government has filed W.A.No.2563 of 2007 in which the Division Bench has refused to grant any interim orders. In fact the Division Bench had passed orders directing the Government to consider the applications of similarly placed petitioners in accordance with the earlier guidelines in force. Therefore, I feel that in all these cases also the petitioners are entitled to have their applications for NOC considered in accordance with the direction in that writ appeal. W.P.(c)No.27739 & Con.cases 2 There would be an order to that effect. Such consideration and passing of orders shall be within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. To facilitate such consideration, the DEO concerned shall forward the applications filed by the petitioners immediately on production of a copy of this judgment. The writ petitions are disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd W.P.(c)No.27739 & Con.cases 3
