Counsel for the respective parties urged several contentions. Heard the arguments and perused the Writ papers with care. 4. The petitioner contends that the earlier Government accorded permission to run ANM School for the Academic Year 2012. The Government did not continue the same. Hence, the petitioner was constrained to make a representation before the Government. The representation was considered and the Government declined to accord the request of the petitioner on the ground that the Government had already started its own ANM Schools. Hence, the petitioner is before this Court. The order of the Government is furnished along with the Writ Petition and the same is marked as Annexure-A. A careful perusal of the same would reflect that the Officer concerned extenso referred to the material on record and rejected the request of the petitioner for continuation of ANM School. The reasons assigned is just and proper. Moreover, a perusal of the statement of objections and documents i.e., Annexure-R4 reflects that the Government has already established its own ANM Schools in various Districts. Hence, the rejection is just - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC:4382 WP No. 9553 of 2020 and proper. I find no grounds to interfere with the said order. The Writ Petition is devoid of merits and is liable to be dismissed. 5. Resultantly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. Sd/- (JYOTI MULIMANI) JUDGE TKN List No.: 2 Sl No.: 11
