Detailed headnote1 paragraphs

High Court of Himachal Pradesh at Shimla (Ajay Mohan Goel, J., oral), CWP No. 7130 of 2025, Yogesh Dahiya v. Union of India and others, decided 02.01.2026 (Neutral: 2026:HHC:397). A student of Rashtriya Military School Chail, District Solan (H.P.), sought quashing of a Leave Certificate and the Transfer Certificate based thereon (one contained in Annexure P-5), alleging unilateral and illegal inquiry, and a writ of mandamus to continue at the school and complete his 10+2. By the time of the order the respondent-school had already handed over the Transfer Certificate; the Court therefore refrained from examining the merits and closed the petition as prayed for. It observed that once the petitioner enrolled in a school at Sonipat (Haryana), the Central Board of School Education should, it hoped and expected, take a sympathetic view of his registration for classes 10+1 and 10+2 in light of why he could not be registered earlier, so that his academic years are not wasted; and, the registration deadline having passed, the Board may explore registration with late fees. Pending miscellaneous applications were disposed of accordingly. No statute or precedent was cited; the merits were expressly not adjudicated.

In light of the fact that now the petitioner has been handed over a Transfer Certificate by the respondent-school, the Court is not dwelling on the merit of the case and as prayed for, this petition is closed with the observation that as now the petitioner intends to get himself enrolled in a school at Sonipat in Haryana, after the petitioner gets himself enrolled as such and in case he thereafter approaches or the school approaches the Central Board of School Education for the purpose of the registration of the petitioner as a student of class 10+1 and 10+2, then taking into consideration the facts as to why the petitioner could not be earlier registered with the school or CBSE, this Court hopes and expects that sympathetic view will
