-: 1 :- HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION Writ Petition No. 5394 of 2009 Cummins College of Engineering for Women & Others. ..Petitioners. Versus All India Council for Technical Education and othrs. ..Respondents. Mr. Girish Kulkarni a/w Mr. Sandeep Waghmare for the Petitioner. Ms. Beena Menon for the respondent no.1. Mr. V. Masukar a/w Mr. V. P. Mavankar, AGP for the Respondent nos. 2 & 3. Coram : S. B. Mhase & R. M. Savant, JJ. Date : August 3, 2009. P. C. : 1. Heard. The Petitioner is already running an engineering college for women, and wanted to have a second shift in the said college for certain engineering courses and accordingly has made an application to the Respondent No.1. Since the Respondent No.1 has not issued appropriate orders or given permission to the Petitioner, the Petitioner has approached this Court. However, pending the petition the Respondent No.1 has granted approval to the Petitioner to start the second shift in the engineering college. Thus, we find that the grievance of the Petitioner is redressed. The Petitioner has been granted approval for the academic year 2010-2011 by the order dated 9th July 2009. The Petitioner in fact desires -: 2 :- to have a college for academic year 2009-2010 and the same has not been granted by the Respondent No.1. Rightly so, because the full bench of this Court in the matter of Mahatma Gandhi Missions Institute v/s. The State of Maharashtra & Others reported in 2008(5) Mh.L.J. Page-913, has directed that the permission or approval to open a new college shall be granted only prior to 15th of June of every year. Since the Petitioner’s application though made for the academic year 2009-10, was considered after 15th June 2009, the grant of such permission would have been contrary to the judgment of this Court. Therefore, the Respondent No.1 has granted permission for the next academic year. The Petitioner may open college in the second shift for the next academic year. We do not find any fault with the actions of the Respondent No.1. Though the desire of the Petitioner to open a new college for the academic year 2009-2010 has not fructified, yet it has got permission for the next academic year. It will be appropriate for the Petitioner to comply with other requirements, if any, before the next academic year. 2. Petition is disposed of with the aforesaid observations. (R.M.SAVANT, J.)
