W.P.(C) No.5097 of 2016
08. 03.01.2017 This writ application has been filed for issua
nce of a writ of mandamus directing the Principal Kendriya Vidyalaya No.1, Sector-1, C.D.A. Bi
danasi, Dist-Cuttack-14 (opposite party no.1) to provide admission to the minor son of the pet
itioner, namely, SK Sazid in Class-1 during the session 2016-17.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel appearing for
the Principal, Kendriya Vidyalaya No.1 as also the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (opposite par
ty nos.1 and 2).
At this point of time, it is pertinent to state that the applications for admi
ssion having been taken in the 1st quarter of the month of March, 2016 and the process of admi
ssion having been over since long, now the academic session is at its fag end. So, viewing the
prayer as advanced, even its favourable consideration at this stage would in reality serve no
purpose and the consideration of the claim of the petitioner as is being contested by the opp
osite parties would merely stand as of academic interest.
In view of the above, the writ petition stands accordingly disposed of with an
observation that in case the minor son of the petitioner submits any application for his admi
ssion in the said school for the academic session 2017-18, this disposal of the writ applicati
on will not stand on the way of its consideration which shall be done on its own merit and in
accordance with law.
Urgent certified copy of this order be granted on proper application.
