longer studying at the said school;

D. Award costs of the present Writ Petition against the Respondent and in favour of the Petitioner; . . ." 2.

The case of the petitioner is that the petitioner is the father of the Master Atharva Iyer (Admission No. 7305/Class- II-D) and has requested the respondent i.e., St. Marks World School Meera Bagh, New Delhi, for the Transfer Certificate.

3.

For the said reasons, issue notice.

4.

Mr. Mishra, learned counsel accepts notice on behalf of the respondent and states that the respondent school has no objection to issuance of a Transfer Certificate but the same requires a No Objection Certificate ("NoC") from the mother of the child as well. He further states that the petitioner and his wife are in a matrimonial dispute and hence, there is all the more requirement for the NoC.

5.

I am of the view that the submissions of the learned counsel for the respondent are reasonable.

6.

The petition is disposed of directing the respondent to issue Transfer Certificate in accordance with its rules and regulations, once the mother of the child gives the NoC.
