THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE S.ANANDA REDDY Writ Petition No.16982 of 2005 03-08-2005 Between: The Mahalakshmi Devi Education Society, Madhapur Main Road, Hyderabad rep. By it Secretary, A.Sridhar Lakshman ... PETITONER AND National Council for Teacher Education, Southern Region, at H.M.T. Post, Bangalore, rep. By its Member Secretary. .....RESPONDENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE S.ANANDA REDDY Writ Petition No.16982 of 2005 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondent in not considering the application of the petitioner for starting Diploma in Education Course at Devarakonda in Nalgonda District for the academic year 2005-06 as illegal, arbitrary and consequently to direct the respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on the application of the petitioner for grant of permission. The petitioner-Society made its application, as per its own averments, on 26.07.2005 seeking approval of the respondent. Even before expiry of one week from the date of submission of the application, the petitioner has come up with the present writ petition seeking a Mandamus stating that the respondent is not considering its application. It is an unfortunate case where the petitioner even without waiting for a reasonable period after submitting its application, approached this Court stating that the respondent-authorities are considering the applications for grant of permission only in the cases where there are directions from this Court to consider the those applications. But, this Court cannot accept such a contention of the petitioner. However, in view of the application already made by the petitioner, it is for the respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a reasonable period. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _______________ 03.08.2005 VGB
