-: 1 :- IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE PUBLIC INTEREST LITIGATION NO.83 OF 2007 WITH CIVIL APPLICATION NO.5 OF 2008 In PUBLIC INTEREST LITIGATION NO.83 OF 2007 Shri Sunil Madhukar Jagtap : Petitioner V/s. State of Maharashtra & Ors. : Respondents ... Mr.S.B.Deshmukh for the petitioner. Mr.Uday Warunjikar for respondent no.3. Mr.Kiran Gandhi i/b. M/s.Little & Co., for resp. no.5. Mr.I.R.Kulkarni for respondent nos.8 & 11. ... CORAM : BILAL NAZKI & S.A.BOBDE,JJ. DATE : MARCH 12, 2008. P.C. 1. Nobody appears for the State. Only counsel for the respondent nos.3, 5, 8 & 11 are present. The grievance of the petitioner was that the institutions (respondent nos.8 to 12) have admitted students for D.Ed. beyond the permissible intake. It was contended that these institutions have to comply with the directions given by -: 2 :- NCTE which fixes the norms and also the intake capacity. This is not disputed by the respondents. The counsel for the respondent nos.8 and 11 submits that the data given by the petitioner pertains to an earlier session, but presently they are not admitting students beyond the permissible intake. This Court while entertaining this petition had already granted interim relief in terms of prayer clause (D) of the petition. Since nobody from the State is contesting, the counsel for NCTE submits that students cannot be admitted beyond the permissible intake. Therefore, we feel that the Public Interest Litigation itself can be disposed of by granting relief as final relief which has already been granted in terms of prayer clause (D). We make it clear that the institutions shall not be allowed to take students beyond their permissible intake capacity and in case any institution is found flouting such a condition, the NCTE may take action against them as permissible under law. 2. The Public Interest Litigation stands disposed of. 3. In view of the disposal of the PIL, no orders are necessary to be passed in Civil Application no.5 of 2008. (BILAL NAZKI, J.) -: 3 :- (S.A.
