Learned counsel for petitioners has invited our attention to clause 71 of the Special Schools Code. It provides for termination/retrenchment of services on various counts, one of which is closure of the school. 5. In the present case, the school has been de-recognized. Whether the management has challenged de-recognition or not and what is the present status, has been not set out in the petition. 6. Secondly and most importantly, learned A.G.P. submitted that the provisions of the Code have been amended/modified in the year 2018. The Code provides for procedure to deal with the teachers in a case where school is de-recognized. One of the clauses is that where the teachers are responsible for the de-recognition or closure of the school, they will be not entitled for absorption in any other school. These provisions would govern the field. 7. The petitioners have relied upon the Code or the clauses which are not applicable. (2) 113wp5526.26 8. When we inquired, Mr. P. N.

The petition is accordingly dismissed. The petitioners shall go through the Code of 2018 and they are at liberty to take appropriate steps, in accordance with law.
