THE HONOURABLE SHRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 5078 OF 2006 Dated 14th March, 2006 Between: Sri Venkateswara Educational Society, Kondamallepally village, Devarakonda Mandal, Nalgonda District represented by its Secretary and Correspondent, Smt. A.Sujana and two others. … Petitioners And Osmania University, represented by its Registrar, Hyderabad and others. … Respondents. ORDER: With the consent of the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Standing Counsel for respondent-University and in view of the earlier judgment of this Court, this writ petition is being disposed of at this stage. First petitioner is an educational society and has proposed to start the second- petitioner college and for that purpose, it has taken approval from the National Council for Teacher Education. But, when the first petitioner has applied for affiliation to the first respondent-university, it has issued the impugned proceedings dated 13.3.2006 returning the application on the ground that under University norms, a college will be considered for grant of provisional affiliation to start B.Ed college only after obtaining NCTE recognition and permission from the Government to start the college. So far as the recognition from the National Council for Teacher Education is concerned, the said authority has already passed orders dated 9.3.2006 in proceedings F.AP/SEC/N/SRO/NCTE/2005-2006/5607 granting recognition to the second-petitioner college. With regard to permission from the Government, this court has considered the said aspect in W.P.No.7878 of 2005 and, by its order dated 13.4.2005, held that such a permission is not required for grant of affiliation to start the college. In that view of the matter, the orders dated 13.3.2006 are set aside and the first respondent-university is directed to reconsider the application of the petitioner-society for grant of affiliation to the second petitioner-college without insisting upon the permission from the Government. As it is stated that the Convener has already notified the schedule of allotment of students for the ensuing academic year, the respondent-university is directed to consider the application forthwith and pass appropriate orders within a period of one week from today. The writ petition is allowed to the extent indicated above. No costs. ______________________ 2006. (R.SUBHASH REDDY, J.) VR. Note: Issue cc today (BO) VR
