THE HON'BLE SRI BILAL NAZKI, THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT APPEAL No.1043 of 2007 Dated: 10-12-2007 Between: K.Rama Sastry. .... Appellants AND 1.The Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Secretary, School Education Department, Secretariat Buildings, Hyderabad, and 2 others. .....Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI BILAL NAZKI, THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT APPEAL No.1043 of 2007 Dated: 10-12-2007 Judgment: (Per Hon’ble Sri Bilal Nazki, The Acting Chief Justice) This Writ Appeal has been filed by the appellant-petitioner aggrieved by an interim order dated 02.11.2007, passed by a learned single Judge of this Court in WPMP.Nos.30278 and 30279 of 2007 in W.P.No.23240 of 2007. The Writ Petition was filed by the appellant challenging the order dated 27-04-2007 passed by the third respondent-District Educational Officer and confirmatory order dated 03-10-2007 passed by the second respondent-Director of School Education closing the appellant’s Elementary Educational Aided School situated at (K.S.) Battirpolu Village of Guntur District. Pending Writ Petition, the appellant filed interlocutory applications being WPMP.Nos.30278 and 30279 of 2007 seeking interim suspension of the impugned orders and interim direction to the third respondent to release grant-in-aid for supply of mid-day meals and free Government Text Books to the pupil on roll at the appellant’s school, but they were dismissed. Hence, the present Appeal. Heard both sides and perused the material available on record. The learned single Judge rightly came to the conclusion that there were concurrent findings of both the authorities below i.e., the respondents, that the appellant’s school has no infrastructure facilities, and from 1998 onwards, the strength of the school has come down from 27 to 13 and there is no scope to improve the strength of the school in future. That apart, if the order dated 03-10-2007 passed by the second respondent is stayed at the interim stage that would mean that the Writ Petition itself is allowed and ultimately, if the Writ Petition is dismissed, the students, who pursue their education in this school, will suffer. In this view of the matter, there is no ground for this Court to interfere with the impugned order passed by the learned single Judge. The Writ Appeal is, accordingly, dismissed. No costs. _______________________ (Bilal Nazki, A.C.J) Dated 10th December, 2007 _______________________ (Ramesh Ranganathan, J) lur
