2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, learned HCCP for the respondents and perused the material on record.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner would reiterate the various contentions urged in the petition and invite my attention to the earlier round of litigation in relation to the petitioner's institution in W.P.No.12026/2023 which was disposed of on 04.07.2023 in order to contend that despite the directions issued by this Court in the aforesaid writ petition upholding the claim of the petitioner for renewal of recognition for classes IX and X in the petitioner's institution, the respondents have once again issued the impugned endorsements rejecting the request of the petitioner by insisting upon documents which were already produced by the petitioner and upheld by this Court in the aforesaid order and as such, the impugned endorsements at Annexures-R1 and R2 deserve to be quashed and the respondents be directed to renew the recognition in favour of the petitioner within a stipulated time frame.

4. Per contra, learned HCGP submits that if the petitioner appears before respondent No.4 and once again submits all relevant documents including the aforesaid order passed by this Court in W.P.No.12026/2023 dated 04.07.2023, respondent No.4 would reconsider the claim of the petitioner for renewal of recognition for classes IX & X and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law.

5. In the earlier round of litigation in W.P.No.12026/2023 dated 04.07.2023, this Court passed the following order:

"The captioned Writ Petition is filed by the Petitioner-Society seeking for the following reliefs:
