respondents however submits that, the idea and understanding of the petitioner is quite wrong and misconceived. It is stated that no copy of the application has ever been produced by the petitioner. It is pointed out that Ext.P1 notification issued was only in respect of Northern Districts and no application was called for in respect of Southern Districts, while the petitioner's school is situated in 'Kollam' District and hence it is not covered by the notification. The learned Government Pleader also submits that the judgment sought to be relied on by the petitioner is not applicable, as it is in respect of the school situated in Trichur District, which is stated as one of the Northern Districts covered by the notification. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, W.P.(C).No. 20892/2007 was in fact filed as early as in 2007 and the notification referred to in the present writ petition has been issued in the year 2010. Anyhow, taking note of the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioner that, the relief sought for is to direct the 1st respondent to consider the application and pass appropriate orders, this Court does not find it necessary to deal with the merits involved.
