IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD HON’BLE Mr. JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.4902 of 2006 Dated: March 16, 2006 Between: V.R. Colleges and High School Committee, represented by its Secretary and Correspondent, Anam Vivekananda Reddy. … Petitioner And The Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Secretary, School Education, Secretariat, Hyderabad, and four others. … Respondents Order: In this Writ Petition, petitioner seeks Writ of Mandamus declaring that ‘No Objection Certificate’ is be deemed to have been given by the State Government for establishing B.Ed. College for Women in Nellore Division, and a further direction is also sought to permit the petitioner to establish a B.Ed. College. 2. In view of the amended regulations, obtaining ‘No Objection Certificate’ for establishing B.Ed. college is not necessary. Even according to the averments made in the affidavit filed in support of the Writ Petition, no application has been made to the competent authority, i.e. the National Council of Teacher Education, as required under Regulation 7 in the manner prescribed under Regulation 5 of the National Council for Teacher Education Regulations. In that view of the matter, no direction can be given to permit the petitioner to establish B.Ed. College. The very prayer is misconceived. 3. In view of the above, the Writ Petition is disposed of keeping it open for the petitioner to make an application to the competent authority for establishing a college, as per the regulations. ___________________________ JUSTICE R.
