(1.) THE petitioner Anwar Ali is a father of his minor daughter Shabnam, has filed this petition before this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution and prayed that the respondent No. 2, Secondary Board of Education, be directed to grant permission to his daughter Shabnam to persue her studies in 11th Standard in Commerce with an optional subject of Mathematics in Respondent No. 3 School-Rajkiya Balika Uchch Madhyamik Vidyalaya, Pali.

(2.) IT is also prayed by the petitioner in this petition that the Guidelines issued by the Secondary Board of Education, Rajasthan, Ajmer-respondent No. 2 at ITem No. 3 in Chapter 3 (Annex. A/3), giving permission to those students coming on transfer on the self-study basis, be struck down, being violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India.

(3.) THE Principal of the Respondent No. 3-School once again wrote a letter dated 2. 9. 1989 (Annex. 6) to the Secretary of the Board to grant permission to all the four students, including Shabnam who wanted to persue their studies on the self-study basis. It was also clarified in that letter that the cases of all those students do not fall in the category of Item 3 of Chapter 3, therefore, as the permission to persue the study on the self-study basis can only be granted to the students whose parents have been transferred during mid-term and those students are not from that category, however, a request was made that such permission be also granted to those four students, so that they concentrate on their studies on the self-study basis.
