Subsequently, the 1st respondent issued Ext.P3, cancelling the recognition granted to several schools, including to the petitioner's school, which is at serial No. 6 of the order. 2. Certain other schools, which were also aggrieved by the cancellation ordered by Ext.P3, have already approached this Court and Ext.P3 to the extent it cancels their recognition has been quashed with liberty to the respondents to proceed afresh in the matter with notice to the affected schools. Since the case of the petitioner is similarly situated, the petitioner is also entitled to similar relief. 3. Accordingly, Ext.P3 will stand set aside in so far as it cancels the temporary recognition granted to the petitioner. It is clarified that it will be open to the respondents to proceed afresh in the matter with notice and opportunity to the petitioner. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
