However, in spite of the said representations addressed by the petitioner to respondents No.1 and 3, no orders had been passed as on date, nor any action initiated in the said regard by respondent Nos.1 and 3 herein. Primary school students are being made to carry heavy school bags, which cause health hazards to young children. The circular guidelines dated 24.11.2020 are not being strictly implemented by schools in the State of Telangana. Hence, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner contends that petitioner is entitled for grant of relief as prayed for in the present writ petition and hence, appropriate orders may be passed directing respondent Nos.1 and 3 to take appropriate action on petitioner’s representations, dated 13.11.2025 and 24.11.2020. 6.
