1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO.294 OF 2009 (Matoshri Laxmibai Bahu-Uddeshiya Sanstha vs. State and others) ___________________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : D.D. SINHA AND A.P. BHANGALE, JJ. DATED : MARCH 13, 2009 Heard Mrs. Patil, learned Counsel for the petitioner, and Mrs. Bodade, learned Assistant Government Pleader for the respondent nos. 1 to 3. The petition is directed against the communication dated 26/9/2008 issued by the respondent University to the petitioner whereby it was informed that the State Government has granted permission to start new 134 Colleges from the academic year 2008-09 and since petitioner College is not included within those 134 Colleges, by necessary implication, proposal of the petitioner stands rejected. The grievance of the petitioner is that neither the State Government nor the University has communicated any reason to the petitioner for rejecting its proposal to start new College and, 2 therefore, petitioner has filed the present petition for necessary directions. It is not in dispute that the petitioner had applied for grant of permission to start Senior College for the academic session 2008-09, which is already half way through and, therefore, we are not inclined to show indulgence in the present petition. However, we direct the respondent State Government to communicate reasons for rejecting the proposal of the petitioner for opening new Senior College for the academic session 2008-09 within fifteen days. The learned Assistant Government Pleader is directed to communicate our decision to the State Government forthwith. Copy of this order, duly authenticated by the Court Sheristedar, be given to the learned Assistant Government Pleader. JUDGE JUDGE khj
