PETITIONER AND The Government of A.P., reptd by its Principal Secretary, Department of School Education, Secretariat Buildings, Hyderabad and another. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.10689 of 2006 ORDER: Though the writ petition is listed under the caption of “for admission”, with the consent of learned counsel for both the parties, it is disposed of at the stage of admission. 2. Though in terms of the prayer which is amended pursuant to orders of this Court in W.P.M.P.No.22268 of 2006, the petitioner has questioned the action of the second respondent in not allotting the candidates for academic year 2006-07 as per the permission granted by National Council for Teacher Education, dated 26.08.2005, but during the course of hearing, the petitioner has confined the relief only to the extent of approval of staff. 3. In this case, it is not in dispute that the competent authority i.e., the Council constituted under National Council of Teacher Education Act, 1993, granted permission to the petitioner-Educational Society for starting Sri Annamacharya College of Elementary Teacher Education, New Boyanapalli Post, Rajampet Mandal, Kadapa District, for Elementary (D.Ed) Course of two years duration. In spite of the fact that such permission was granted, the approval of staff was not given basing on the Regulations framed by National Council of Teacher Education. In a batch of cases viz., W.P.No.22227 of 2005 and batch, this question had fallen for consideration before this Court, wherein, this Court, by judgment, dated 11.08.2006, held that State Council for Education, Research & Training, (SCERT), alone is competent to approve the staff list for the colleges which were permitted before the amended Regulations have come into force, i.e., on 13.06.2006 4. Following the said judgment, this writ petition is disposed of permitting the petitioner to submit fresh proposals to the Director, State Council for Education, Research and Training, Hyderabad, (for short ‘SCERT’) within a period of four weeks from today, and on such submission, the Director, SCERT, shall receive the said proposals and process them for approval of staff without reference to the amended regulations, by following the procedure which was in vogue prior to the coming into force of the amended regulations. However, it is open for the said authority to collect necessary charges from the petitioner for undertaking such exercise. It is made clear that the process for approval for appointment of staff shall be considered by the State Council for Education, Research and Training, Hyderabad, subject to fulfillment of the requisite conditions and the qualifications prescribed as per the notified regulations and the applicable rules framed by the National Council for Teacher Education. 5. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 04.09.2006 DR
