(Prayer: Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, to issue  a writ of mandamus directing the respondents to conduct a special camp at  the Panchayat Union Middle School, LKP Nagar, Madurai District, by considering petitioner's representation dated on 05.11.2025 and for other  reliefs as fixed by this Court.)

Dr.G.Jayachandran, J

1. This writ petition has been filed as a public interest litigation seeking a writ of mandamus directing the authorities concerned to conduct a Special Camp for issuance of birth certificates to the students.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that some tribal  students studying in the schools have no birth certificates and therefore, they  are not able to pursue their higher education. Hence, he seeks a writ of mandamus.

3. When this Court posed a question to the learned counsel for  the petitioner as to whether the students, for whom birth certificates are  sought to be issued, have made any application before the authority  concerned seeking birth certificates, learned counsel for the petitioner is not  able to answer in affirmative. In such circumstances, we are not inclined to entertain this public interest litigation of this nature, without even a request was made by the students for issuance of birth certificates.

4. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed. No costs.
