By its Secretary, Department of Education, at Secretariat Buildings, Hyderabad and another. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE S.ANANDA REDDY Writ Petition No.17052 of 2005 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the second respondent, in not re-validating the No Objection Certificate (NOC) in favour of the petitioner for the academic year 2005-06 by considering its representation dated 19.06.2005, as illegal, arbitrary and unconstitutional. According to the petitioner, in pursuance of the notification issued by the respondents, it made an application seeking NOC for starting a B.Ed., College at Adoni in Kurnool. After considering the application of the petitioner, the respondent-authorities granted NOC by proceedings dated 28.12.2001 for the academic year 2002-03. It is stated that due to certain intervening circumstances, the petitioner could not establish the B.Ed., College for the said academic year. Therefore, it made a representation dated 18.03.2004 seeking re- validation of the NOC for the academic year 2003-04. However, as no orders have been passed, the petitioner made another representation dated 19.06.2005 seeking re-validation of the NOC for the academic years 2004-05 and 2005-06. Since no orders have been passed even on the said representation also, the petitioner has come up with the present writ petition. When this matter came up for admission on 03.08.2005, it was adjourned to today with a direction to the learned Government Pleader for School Education to get instructions. Today, when the matter is taken up, the learned Government Pleader reported no instructions. Therefore, the matter is taken up for disposal at the admission stage itself. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for School Education appearing for the respondents. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents have not passed any orders on its representations seeking re-validation of the NOC by extending the one which was granted for the academic year 2002-03 for the subsequent academic years viz., 2003-04, 2004-05 and 2005-06. In view of the inaction of the respondents, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to pass appropriate orders on the representation of the petitioner dated 19.06.2005 expeditiously, preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. _______________ 10.08.2005 Note: Issue CC in three days. (b/o) VGB
