NO. 1558 OF 2006 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 13th day of March, 2007 JUDGMENT Writ Petition is for direction to the NCTE to consider petitioner's application for approval for starting a B.Ed. college. This Court in fact vide interim order dated 25.5.2006 directed the NCTE to conduct inspection and file report in this Court. No such report is seen filed and it is not known whether inspection was carried out. In any case, there is no case of granting approval for commencement of course this academic year. Therefore O.P. is disposed of directing the NCTE to pass orders on petitioner's application without any delay and in any case before commencement of B.Ed. course in the next academic year.
