PETITIONER(S) AND 1 Government of Andhra Pradesh, Rep by its Secretary, Education (Trg) Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad. 2 The Director of School Education, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad. 3 The District Educational Officer, Ongole, Prakasam District. 4 Hereditary President and Correspondent of Sri Mandati Dora Educational Society, (Sree Veera Hanman) Teacher Education Training Institute (A.P.S.No. 1140 and APS 00830) Chintnagunta Rural, Markapur Mandal, Prakasam District. .....RESPONDENT(S) Petition under Article 226 of the constitution of India praying that in the circumstances stated in the Affidavit filed herein the High Court will be pleased to issue writ order or direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the 1st respondent in not passing any orders despite the 2nd respondent requested for issuance of suitable orders vide Letter Rc.No. 321/N1-3/2003 dt. 30-6-2006 as arbitrary, illegal, improper, unjust and consequently direct the 1st respondent herein to forthwith pass suitable orders in pursuance of the letter dt. 30-6-2006 of the 2nd respondent by considering the case of the petitioners and accord permission to appear for the TPT Course examinations for the academic year 2007-2008 by allotting the petitioners to any other recognized college, and to grant such other relief or reliefs as this Hon'ble Court deems fit and proper in the circumstances of the case Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.MANMADHA RAO KUMBHAJADALA Counsel for the Respondent Nos 1 to 3.: GP FOR EDUCATION The Court made the following : ORAL ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for School Education, appearing for Respondents 1 to 3. The writ petitioners have not impleaded the Sree Veera Hanman Teacher Education Training in this writ petition, but instead had impleaded initially the Hereditary President and Correspondent and by way of W.P.M.P.No. 31932 of 2007 seek to amend the particulars regarding the 4th respondent with incorporation of the name of one M. Tirupathi Reddy, who is claimed to be the Hereditary President and Correspondent. The petitioners in substance seek a direction to the respondents 1 to 3 to permit them to appear for the Telugu Pandit Training (TPT) Course examination for the academic year 2007-08, by allotting them to any other recognized college for the said purpose. It would appear that one Mandapati Reddy Dora Educational Society wanted to start a college for imparting education for issue of B.Ed.T.P.T certificates. The said Society initially filed W.P.No.3193 of 2004, seeking a direction to the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) for grant of recognition and permission for running B.Ed. T.P.T courses for the academic year 2004-05, pursuant to the application of the Society dated 21.1.2004. This writ petition was disposed of with a direction to the respondents therein to consider the petitioner’s application and pass appropriate orders in accordance with the relevant NCTE Regulation. Thereafter, the society filed another W.P.No. 5948 of 2005. In this writ petition, by an interim order 29.4.2005 in WPMP No.7893 of 2005, the Southern Regional Committee of NCTE was directed to pass an order for grant of recognition and permission in favour of the institution for the academic year 2004-05, as per the orders of this court in the earlier W.P.No. 3193 of 2004 dated 31.1.2005, within a week and if no such orders were passed by the Southern Regional Committee of the NCTE, observing that recognition and permission is deemed to have been granted. On the basis of such deemed permission recorded by this court in an interim order, the unrecognized Teacher Education Training Institute admitted the 15 petitioners to the B.Ed. T.P.T. course. The NCTE, pursuant to the interim order of this court dated 29.4.2005, addressed a letter dated 15.4.2005 to the Education Society declining permission and approval for starting the TPT Course, pointing out certain defects in the application submitted by the Society. On noticing the rejection by the NCTE, W.P.No.5948 of 2005 was dismissed by this court by the order dated 21.6.2005. As a consequence of the dismissal of the writ petition itself, the ad interim order of this court dated 29.4.2005 stood dissolved. However, the 2nd respondent addressed a letter dated 30.6.2006 to the 1st respondent, pointing out that the Dy. Educational Officer, Markapur, had inspected the unrecognized Education Training College and that as per the report, the students had paid the examination fee and applications were also sent to the Director of Government Examinations and they had undergone some course of instruction. From the enquiry report of the Dy. Educational Officer, Markapur, which has been filed in this writ petition, it would appear that Sri Veer Hanman Teacher Education Training Institute, a wholly unrecognized institution, had conducted some sort of training in temporary sheds, which had collapsed due to rains subsequently and it is such desultory training imparted to the 15 unfortunate petitioners that has raised the expectation of these petitioners and led to the filing of this writ petition with the reliefs claimed. Since the petitioners pursued a course of instruction in an institute, which has not been recognized by the NCTE at all, none of the respondents 1 to 3 have any manner of power, authority or jurisdiction to issue any executive order enabling the petitioners to appear at the examinations for award of a certificate in TPT. On the above analysis, the writ petition is devoid of merits and is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ------------------------------- GODA RAGHURAM, J Date: 18.2.2008 cvm To 1 Goverment of Andhra Pradesh, Rep by its Secretary, Education (Trg) Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad. 2 The Director of School Education, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad. 3 The District Educational Officer, Ongole, Prakasam District. 4. 2CCs to G.P. for Education (OPUC) 5.2CD copies
