The petitioner would submit that on the basis of Ext.P2 order of the NCTE granting conditional recognition, he is entitled to be granted affiliation by the University. On instructions, learned standing counsel for the University submits that the petitioner had applied for affiliation in 2003-04 and that in terms of their Regulations, application will be kept valid only for a period of two years. According to him, NCTE having granted recognition by Ext.P2 order dated 25/4/07, the petitioner will have to make a fresh application. If in terms of the Regulations there is no valid application presently pending, WPC 27161/07 : 2 : University cannot be directed to grant affiliation provisionally or otherwise. Hence, with liberty to the petitioner to make a fresh application for affiliation, this writ petition is closed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. Rp
