JUDGMENT
The petitioner is the Manager of Sree Sethuparvathy Bhai
High School, Kadakkavoor. The petitioner submitted an application to the
third respondent seeking permission for the re-construction of the
classrooms and sanction was accorded. The petitioner approached the first
respondent for getting the fitness certificate as contemplated under the
Kerala Education Rules. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite the
receipt of the application for the aforesaid purpose, no action has so far
been taken by the first respondent to conduct inspection and to issue the
requisite certificate.
2. Ext.P3 would reveal that the constructions have been effected
after obtaining necessary approval from the third respondent as
contemplated under Rule 3(b)(ii) of Chapter V of the Kerala Education
Rules . The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in respect of 10
classrooms fitness certificates have already been granted by the first
W.P.(C) NO.16224/2010 2
respondent. The application in question presented before the first
respondent pertains to the issuance of fitness certificate with respect to the
newly constructed 15 classrooms. The said applications are pending
before the first respondent. Therefore, the first respondent is directed to
expedite the steps for the purpose of issuing necessary fitness certificates
after conducting appropriate inspection as contemplated under Rule 3(b)
(ii) Chapter V of the Kerala Education Rules. At any rate, the whole
exercise in terms of the aforesaid provision shall be done by the first
respondent within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy
of this judgment.
This Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of.
