J U D G M E N T The petitioner obtained recognition from the NCTE for starting a M.Ed course in their college. Based on the recognition granted by the NCTE, the petitioner applied for affiliation of that course with the 1st respondent, University. The same has has not been considered is the grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition. The petitioner points out that in view of the decision of the Supreme court in State of Maharashtra v. Dnyaneshwar Shikshan Shastra Mahavidyalaya and others (2006 (9) SCC 1) as also the decision of the Full Bench of this Court in W.P.(C). No. 15339 of 2007, once NCTE grants recognition, the University cannot refuse to grant affiliation. I am of opinion that that is a matter which the University should take into consideration while considering Ext.P10 application. 2. learned standing counsel for the University submits that Ext.P10 application would be considered and orders passed within a period of one month from today. W.P.(C).No. 32517 OF 2007 2 Accordingly the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent, University to communicate their decision on Ext.P10 application for affiliation submitted by the petitioner, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
