Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. 2. Request of the petitioner institution for grant of recognition has been refused by the Eastern Regional Committee of National Council for Teacher Education(hereinafter referred to as the “NCTE”) under order bearing No. 179(1) dated 5.6.2009, Annexure- 14, against which the institution preferred appeal, which was also rejected under order bearing No. 99453 dated 7.8.2009, Annexure-15. From perusal of the two orders, Annexures-14 and 15, it appears that the request of the petitioner institution for grant of recognition has been refused on the ground that the institution has not produced the ownership document of the lands over which the institution has been raised as the petitioner institution is the lessee of those lands from private person. In terms of the NCTE regulation, 2007, the ownership document i.e. sale/gift deed of the lands is required to be obtained by the petitioner institution from the owner of the lands. 3. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that notwithstanding the finding contained in the orders, Annexures-14 and - 2 - 15, petitioner institution shall now furnish the ownership document in the nature of the gift/sale deed executed by the private party/owner of the land over which institution has been raised in favour of the institution before the Eastern Regional Committee, NCTE, Bhubneshwar, whereafter the Eastern Regional Committee, NCTE, Bhubneshwar should examine the contents of the ownership document within 15 days of its receipt along with a copy of this order and if the Committee is satisfied about the genuineness of the ownership document then the Committee should constitute an inspecting team as early as possible, in any case within another two weeks and thereafter the inspecting team shall hold the inspection within one month from the date of constitution of the inspecting team and submit its report to the Eastern Regional Committee, NCTE, Bhubneshwar and the Committee should pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within another one month as the session has already begun from August, 2009. 4.
