2026:UHC:4842 SL. No. Date Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGE’S ORDERS
WPMS/3459/2018 Hon’ble Manoj Kumar Tiwari, J. There is no representation for the petitioner. Mr. Pan Singh Bisht, Brief Holder for the State.
2. By means of this writ petition, petitioner has sought the following relief:
“Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to change the name of the Government Inter College Gadoli and keep new name on the name of martyr Rajesh Singh Inter College Gadoli as per law so that his sacrifice for his counter be remembered.”
3. The relief as claimed cannot be granted, as it is not for the Court while exercising power of judicial review to issue direction to the competent authority to change name of a school.
4. The writ petition, however, is disposed of with liberty to petitioner to make representation before the competent authority. If he makes representation within three weeks, decision thereupon shall be taken, as per law, within nine months thereafter.
