State of Andhra Pradesh and others ...Respondents ********** Advocate for Appellant Mr. Bharat Babu.N Advocate for Respondents GP for School Education CORAM :THE CHIEF JUSTICE DHIRAJ SINGH THAKUR SRI JUSTICE RAVI CHEEMALAPATI : S**’ August, 2025 DATE PC : The present writ appeal has been preferred against the judgment and order, dated 25.02.2025, passed in WP.No.511 of 2025. 2. The petitioner (appellant herein) is a private aided school. The grievance of the petitioner is that even when the District Educational Officer, YSR District, had earlier by virtue of her order, dated 06.06.2024, permitted the petitioner to fill up 6 aided posts of teachers, yet by virtue of the order impugned, dated 26.07.2024, the same District Educational Officer permitted only 3 posts to be filled up by the petitioner. 2 HCJ & RC, J WA 868_2025 The grievance of the petitioner school was that it ought to have been permitted all 6 instead of only 3. 3. It can be seen that the pupil to teacher strength was determined the basis of data which was relevant for the year 2024-2025 as on on 18.06.2024. However, over a period of one year, it is possible, as stated by learned counsel for the petitioner (appellant herein), that the student strength would have increased as the loss in student strength was on account of certain unavoidable circumstances. Government Pleader for the School Education Department states that the respondents are not averse to conducting an inspection of the petitioner school and consider the relevant data for purposes afresh the staff strength after determining the pupil ratio in the 4. Learned of fixing petitioner school. 5. Be that as it may, we can put an end to the entire controversy by simply directing the respondents to conduct an inspection afresh and to take appropriate decision in regard to fixation of the teacher strength against the aided posts in the petitioner school in accordance with the provisions of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009. 3 HCJ & RC, J WA 868 2025 6. The Writ Appeal is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. Miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall stand closed. Sd/- K.
