JUDGMENT : TEJINDER SINGH DHINDSA, J. 1. The Rishikul Senior Secondary School, Grarwal, Tehsil Gohana, District Sonepat, has filed the instant writ petition seeking a mandamus to direct the respondent-Board of School Education, Haryana, to issue roll numbers and admit cards to 97 students who are studying in Class 12th of the petitioner school. 2. Counsel submits that the petitioner was accorded permanent recognition by the competent authority under the Haryana State Education Department/Board for running classes from Class 1st to Class 10th. Thereafter the school sought permission for running classes 11th and 12th for the academic session 2018-2019. Temporary recognition was granted vide letter dated 19.07.2018 at Annexure P-3. In pursuance to such temporary recognition 97 students were admitted in 12th class. It is further urged that the school has submitted the forms of the students along with the requisite fee of Rs. 78,800/- to the respondent Board. The schedule for examination has been issued and in terms thereof the practical examinations commenced w.e.f. 23.02.2019 and the written examinations are to be held from 07.03.2019 onwards. It is contended that the respondent-Board is not issuing the roll numbers and admit cards and such action is arbitrary and will play havoc with the careers of the 97 students who have been admitted in the XII class. 3. Having heard counsel for the petitioner at length, this Court is of the considered view that the instant petition is completely bereft of merit and deserves to be dismissed. 4. Memo dated 19.07.2018 issued by the Department of School Education, Haryana, has been placed on record and appended at Annexure P-3.

Perusal of the memo dated 19.07.2018 makes it apparent clear that the letter of permission for higher classes was only an in principle approval of the Education Department so as to allow the applicant/petitioner herein to initiate steps and to provide infrastructure to the new proposed classes of the higher stage. The school had been put to categoric notice and caution that students ought not to be admitted on such permission as contained in memo dated 19.07.2018 and without getting permanent recognition. 6. The school had been put to categoric notice and caution that students ought not to be admitted on such permission as contained in memo dated 19.07.2018 and without getting permanent recognition. 6. This Court would have no hesitation in observing that the school has taken things into its own hands and has proceeded to make admissions in Class XII without there being any permanent recognition. It has not even adhered to the embargo contained in the memo dated 19.07.2018 as regards students to be not admitted. During the course of hearing a specific query having been put to the counsel as to whether the prospective students at the stage of admission in the months of July/August 2018 had been put to notice as regards the school not having permanent recognition for the higher classes, response has been in the negative. 7. In view of the above prayer in the instant petition for directions to be issued to the respondent Haryana Board of School Education for issuance of admit cards to the students in question, cannot be accepted. 8. Petition is dismissed. 9. Costs of Rs. 1,00,000/- are imposed upon the petitioner school to have had the audacity to raise the prayer as noticed hereinabove in the instant petition inspite of having admitted students and having put them in such a precarious situation and in complete violation of the memo dated 19.07.2018 at Annexure P-3. The costs be deposited with the Poor Patients Welfare Fund, PGI, Chandigarh within a period of four weeks from today. 10. Needless to observe that it would be open for the students in question to initiate appropriate proceedings against the petitioner school seeking compensation.
