JUDGMENT
The petitioners claim that they are parents of certain students
studying in the Zamorins Higher Secondary School, Chalappuram, an
aided school governed by the provisions of the Kerala Education Act and
Rules framed thereunder and managed by the 6th respondent. They
have approached this Court seeking to set aside the election of the PTA
Committee in respect of the 6th respondent School and also for a
direction to respondents 3 and 4 to consider and pass orders on Exhibits
P3 and P4 representations submitted by the 1st petitioner.
2. Sri. Bonny Benny, the learned counsel appearing for the
petitioner, submitted that the petitioner would be satisfied if necessary
directions are issued to the 3rd respondent to consider Exhibit P4 in the
light of Exhibit P1.
3. The learned Government Pleader points out that the
jurisdiction is vested with the AEO, Kozhikode City to consider the
grievance, if any, of the petitioner. If appropriate representation is filed
before the AEO concerned, necessary action shall be taken.
4. I find that the AEO, Kozhikode City, has not been arrayed as a
respondent herein. I suo motu implead the AEO, Kozhikode City as an
additional 9th respondent. The learned government pleader takes
notice.
WP(C) NO. 292 OF 2023
5. Having regard to the submissions advanced and the facts and
circumstances, this writ petition is ordered by issuing the following
directions:
a) There will be a direction to the petitioners to submit a copy
of Exhibit P4 representation before the AEO, Kozhikode City,
within a period of one week from today.
b) If a representation as directed above is submitted before
the AEO concerned, the same shall be considered, with
notice to the petitioner and other affected parties, including
the party respondents, and appropriate orders shall be
passed within a further period of one month.
c) The petitioner shall produce a copy of the writ petition
along with this judgment before the respondent to ensure
compliance.
