S.P.Muthu Raman v. The Inspector General of Registration

Order This Writ Petition has been filed to direct the 1st respondent to complete the petitioner's appeal proceedings dated 4.05.2026 as expeditiously as possible

2.The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the object of the 3rd respondent Society is to look after the welfare of its members by providing standard medical facilities and imparting education to their children. To achieve this object, a number of schools have been established by the said Society under the name and style of "The Indian Public School" across various districts. Accordingly, they also established a school in Tirunelveli in the year 2022, where students were admitted and continued their studies until the academic year 2024–2025.

¶3Suddenly, a Transfer Certificate (TC) request form was circulated to the students to be communicated to their parents. The petitioner's grandson and granddaughter, who were studying in the said school, were also served with such TC request forms. Upon subsequent enquiry, the petitioner came to know that the Managing Trustee of the Society had established the school and collected fees without obtaining any prior permission or approval from the Education Department.

¶4Aggrieved by this, a criminal complaint was lodged against the 3rd respondent Trust, and a formal complaint was also submitted to the 2nd respondent requesting an enquiry into the illegal activities of the Trust.

Since the said appeal has not been disposed of, the petitioner has approached this Court.
