JUDGMENT : RAVI MALIMATH, J. 1. Aggrieved by the order passed by the first respondent pertaining to fixation of fees etc. writ petitions were filed. By the impugned order, the learned Single Judge held that the first petitioner therein has no locus-standi to question the impugned order, however, liberty was reserved to other petitioners to prefer an appeal under Rule 17 of the Karnataka Educational Institutions (Classification, Regulation and Prescription of Curricula, etc.) Rules, 1995. Being aggrieved by the said observation, on locus-standi the first petitioner has filed this appeal. 2. The learned counsel for appellant submits that the appellant being an Association of Parents is entitled to question the impugned order. In support of their contention, she has relied on Rule 15 of the Karnataka Educational Institutions (Classification, Regulation and Prescription of Curricula etc.) Rules 1995, which indicates that any person could lodge a complaint with regard to the dispute. 3. However, on hearing learned counsels, we are of the view that there is no merit in the appeal. 4. The learned Single Judge on hearing the plea of the petitioners took note of the submissions of the respondents therein. So far as the first petitioner is concerned, there are a number of criminal cases pending and it is indulging in extortion activities. Therefore, the learned Single Judge was of the view that it is not the stage to decide the fate of the first petitioner, however the first petitioner is not an aggrieved person under the Rules before this court or the competent authority. 5. On hearing the learned counsel for appellant, we do not find any reasons to differ with the order passed by the learned Single Judge. In view of the fact that first petitioner cannot be said to be aggrieved person, the order passed by the learned Single Judge is appropriate. 6. Accordingly, writ appeal is dismissed. 7. In view of dismissal of the appeal, all pending applications do not survive for consideration. Accordingly, I.A. No. 5 of 2017 and I.A. No. 3 of 2017 stands rejected.
