Court's or Judge's orders Coram: Smt. Nishita Mhatre, & Shri M. T. Joshi, JJ. Date : 5th August 2011 ShriS.A. Nagargoje Advocate, holding for Shri N. L. Jadhav, Advocate for the petitioners. Shri K.G. Patil, AGP, for Respondent No.1. Shri N.B. Patil, holding for Shri K.M. Suryawanshi, Advocate, for Resp. Nos. 2 and 3. ---------- 1. This petition has been preferred against the order dated 24.6.2009, whereby the affiliation of the Petitioner's college to Respondent No.3-University has been withdrawn. By the order dated 9.7.2009, the said order was stayed by this court. 2 wp4309.09 2. It appears that the proclamation was issued, in view of the judgment of the Nagpur Bench of this Court, in Writ Petition No.2216 of 2006, dated 3.12.2008. The Nagpur Bench had directed that all Colleges should appoint a full- fledged Principal within a stipulated period, failing which their affiliations to their respective universities would be withdrawn. 3. Aggrieved by this decision, several colleges approached the Supreme Court in Special Leave Petitions, one of which is S.L.P. (Civil) No.13944 of 2009. The orders have been passed by the Supreme Court in all these petitions, setting aside the decision of the Nagpur Bench of this Court. At the same time, it has been directed that the the process of filling of the posts of Principals should continue in accordance with law and must be completed expeditiously. 3 wp4309.09 4. In these circumstances, the proclamation withdrawing the affiliation of Petitioner No. 2 only on this ground of not having a full-fledged Principal, must be set aside. 5. Accordingly, the writ petition is allowed. The proclamation is set aside. However, the Petitioners shall appoint a Principal to the college as expeditiously as possible. (M.T. JOSHI, J.) (SMT.
