Counsel for the respondents has not disputed the above facts and agrees that in case the similar directions are issued, then appropriate decision would be taken by the CBSE on there end. (2 of 2) [CW-17095/2024] 3. Heard and considered the submissions made at Bar and perused the material available on record. 4. Considering the above submissions made by the respective parties and looking to the fact that the controversy involved in this petition has already been set at rest by this Court while deciding a batch of writ petitions with the lead case of Shiv Jyoti Convent (Supra) wherein the following orders/directions have been issued in para 8:- “8. Perusal of the record as well as the arguments raised by counsel for the rival sides indicate that several versions and cross versions have been made against the sudden inspections conducted by the CBSE inspecting team. This Court is not going into the matter to the extent of examining the correctness of the allegations and the defence taken by the school authorities. Looking to the provisions contained under Clause 13.10, of the Bye-laws, 2018, this Court deems it just and proper to dispose of all these writ petitions by granting liberty to the petitioners-schools to approach the CBSE by way of filing representations along with all the documents available with them in their defence. In case, the petitioners-school approach the respondent-CBSE Board within a period of two weeks from today, it is expected from the respondent-Board to decide their representations expeditiously as early as possible, preferably within a period of four weeks considering the interest of the students.” 5. This Court finds no valid reasons to take a different view and the present writ petition stands disposed of in the light of the similar direction issued in the case of Shiv Jyoti Convent (Supra). 6. Stay application and all pending application(s), if any, also stand disposed of. (ANOOP KUMAR DHAND),J Ashu/134
