Balakrishnan Nair, J.
The point raised by the appellant in this appeal is squarely
covered against him by the decision of the Apex Court in State
of Kerala v. Prasad [2007(3) KLT, 531]. The learned Single
Judge dismissed the writ petition relying on that judgment.
Admittedly, in the area where the appellant’s school is located,
there is no proposal of the Government for sanctioning a Lower
Primary School or High School . If the Government had any
such proposal, the same will be published as a notification
issued under Rule 2 of Chapter V of the Kerala Education Rules.
In the absence of any such notification, the appellant cannot
claim sanction of a Lower Primary School or High School. In
the result, the Writ Appeal is dismissed.
