By consent, the Writ Petition is taken up for final disposal at the stage of admission itself. 2. I have heard Mr.B.Rajesh Saravanan, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Mr.K.A.Nandagopan, learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondent. 3. The petitioner has approached this Court by filing the present Writ Petition for a Mandamus, directing the respondent to change driving school license No.3/Tuty/2003 [R.No.19499/C2/2008] in the name of 'Sri Amman Driving School' Firm, based on the representation given by him dated 08.03.2011. 4. The case of the petitioner is that he has started driving school in the name of 'Sri Amman Driving School' at Kovilpatti. The respondent has granted driving school licence in the name of 'Sri Amman Driving School' under the Motor Vehicles Rules and permitted his sister Tmt.S.Shenbagavalli to run the driving school. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 5. In order to mobilize the amount, his sister S.Shenbagavalli and his brother S.Sreedhar along with the petitioner have formed a partnership firm and entered into a deed of partnership on 18.09.2007. It has been duly registered on 29.11.2007. The said fact was also intimated to the respondent by post on 03.12.2007. 6. In the meantime, his sister has retired from the partnership on 30.11.2010 and the deed of retirement was also executed. Later, his brother the said S.Sreedhar gave no objection to change the driving school licence in the name of the petitioner on 17.02.2011. A request, therefore, was made by the petitioner to change the Driving School Licence No.3/2003 in the name of 'Sri Amman Driving School' and also he expressed his willingness to pay the necessary fee, if any. But, however, the request was not considered and hence, the petitioner has come up with the present Writ Petition for the reliefs stated earlier. 7. Considering the limited scope of the matter, without expressing any opinion on the claim made by the petitioner, I direct the respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 08.03.2011 and dispose of the same on merits and in accordance with law, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 8. The Writ Petition stands disposed of in the above terms. No costs.
