It is stated by the learned counsel appearing for the contesting parties that the matter is squarely covered by the Judgment dated 01.06.2010 passed by a learned Judge of this Court in Writ Petition No.11038 and batch. The observations of this Court in an earlier writ petition extracted in the aforestated order are apposite: “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, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to take necessary steps as contemplated in its communication dated 24-11-2009 and pass appropriate orders. There shall be no order as to costs”. For reasons alike and in terms of the aforestated order and observations, this writ petition is also disposed of setting aside the order dated 28.04.2009 with a direction to the first respondent to take necessary steps for granting recognition to the petitioners’ College of Education at Narsireddy Kandriga, Naidupeta, Nellore District in accordance with the relevant rules. This recognition shall enure to the benefit of the petitioners only for the next academic year as it is stated that the present academic year has already commenced with the schedule of counseling which is to begin from 02.08.2010. In the circumstances of the case, there shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J. 30TH JULY, 2010. VGSR/PGS
