The issue raised by the petitioner is that the respondentauthorities have arbitrarily selected yet another school for upgradation to a Middle School instead of the School in which the ward of the petitioner studies. He has filed the writ application for upgradation looking at the future prospects of his ward as well as facility.

upgradation but then certain amount of leeway will have to be required to be given to the authorities taking into consideration the legal condition, the fulfillment of the requirements, the interests of the students etc. etc., some of which have already been taken note of in Annexure-1.

¶26

The Court, therefore, will not substitute its wisdom in such matter but can surely allow the petitioner to agitate the issue before the competent authority who can verify the authenticity of the assertion about the school fulfilling the requirements for such upgradation. These matters are also required to be verified on the ground and it cannot be done on oral submissions or on the basis of few annexures here and there. Writ is otherwise dismissed with liberty as above.
