THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No :26814 of 2010 O R D E R: This writ petition has been instituted seeking directions to the third respondent, the National Council for Teacher Education, Southern Regional Committee, Bangalore to consider the application for granting necessary approval for running D.Ed course without any reference being made to the policy decision of the State of Andhra Pradesh contained in their letter dated 07.01.2009. The learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn my attention to the judgments rendered by this Court earlier in W.P.No.6712 of 2009 and W.P.Nos.11038 of 2009 and Batch, wherein the writ petitions are disposed of with the following directions:- “It may be true that the State Government as well as the first respondent have reviewed the situation as to the necessity or otherwise of according permission to establish new colleges of education in the State in future and that the existing institutions are found to be adequate. However, the right that is accrued to the petitioners on the basis of their application and the consideration thereof by the first respondent cannot be taken away on account of the change of policy. It is settled principle of law that whenever an application is made, it must be considered and processed in accordance with the provisions of law or the policy that existed as on the date of presentation. Subsequent changes may apply to the applications that are made thereafter.” Hence, this Writ Petition is also disposed of reiterating the same directions as noticed supra. No costs. ---------------------------------- Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J 29th October 2010 bud THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No :26814 of 2010 Dated: 29.10.2010 .....
