TRUE COPY P.A.TO JUDGE S.SIRI JAGAN, J. -------------------------- W.P.(C)No. 16446 OF 2007 -------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of June, 2007 J U D G M E N T The petitioner had obtained approval from the NCTE for starting B.Ed Course in his college. Now what remains is grant of affiliation by the University for which the petitioner has filed Exts.P4 and P5. The petitioner seeks a direction to the University to consider and dispose of Exhibits P4 and P5 . I have heard the Counsel for the petitioner as also the Learned Counsel appearing for the respondents including the Counsel for the University. Exhibits P4 and P5 have been filed on 14.5.2007 and 24.5.2007. When a person files an application for affiliation after obtaining approval from the NCTE, the University has a duty to consider and dispose of the same, as expeditiously, as possible. In the above circumstances, there will be a direction to the 1st respondent-University to consider and to pass appropriate orders on Exhibits P4 and P5 and communicate the same to the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
