ORDER:
1. The present writ petition is filed aggrieved by the proposed action of respondent No.3 in trying to relocate the girls’ school, which is presently being run from the premises belonging to the petitioner.
2. This Court, considering the submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner, suspended the impugned letter on 01.09.2026. On 03.09.2026, it was informed that the school had been shifted to a permanent, newly constructed Tribal Welfare Building.
3. Today, when the matter is taken up for hearing, the learned Standing Counsel appearing for respondent Nos.2 and 3 submits that respondent No.1 had sanctioned 65 new B.C. Residential Schools in the State and that Kanigiri was allotted the girls’ school. It is submitted that the Principal of the School, vide letter dated 24.08.2026, had proposed to shift the school to the permanent building, and as the permanent building was ready, a notice to vacate the premises was issued by the Principal of the School.
4. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner does not dispute the receipt of rent and submits that there are no outstanding dues. It is further submitted that, in terms of the rent agreement dated 01.06.2026, two months’ notice on either side is required for vacating the accommodation. As the respondents have abruptly issued the letter and vacated the premises, respondent No.3-School shall pay two months’ rent in lieu of the notice period.
5. Considering the submission that respondent No.3-School has now been shifted to the permanent Government building, no further orders are required to be passed in this writ petition. However, in view of the notice period stipulated under the rent agreement, respondent No.3-School shall pay two months’ rent to the petitioner within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
6. With the above observation, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed.
