... Respondents This Court made the following:

THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SRI KALYAN JYOTI SENGUPTA AND THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR PUBLIC INTEREST LITIGATION No. 275 of 2014 ORDER: (Per the Hon'ble the Chief Justice Sri Kalyan Jyoti Sengupta) This writ petition has been filed for a writ of Mandamus against respondent Nos.3 and 4 for not taking action against respondent Nos.5 to 8, who are allegedly running the school without having any recognition. Counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of respondent Nos.1 to 4, wherein it was stated that initially there had been no recognition for respondent Nos.5 to 7 schools, and thereafter, they applied for recognition and the same was granted. Therefore, as on today granting of recognition to these respondents cannot be said to be illegal. So far as the 8th respondent is concerned, it is stated in the counter affidavit that it has already applied for recognition, but no decision has been taken as yet.

In that view of the matter and since no affidavit in reply is filed controverting the aforesaid statement and averment of the counter affidavit, we direct the authority concerned to take a decision on the application made by the 8th respondent for recognition in accordance with law.

With the aforesaid direction the writ petition is closed. Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall also stand closed. No order as to costs.
