Counsel for the Petitioner : MR.S.GIRIMOJI RAO Counsel for the Respondents.: GP FOR SCHOOL EDUCATION The Court at the admission stage made the following : O R D E R: This Writ Petition is filed by the petitioner aggrieved by the inaction on the part of the respondents in not considering the application of the petitioner for issuing no objection certificate for establishment of Pandit Training Course, both Telugu and Hindu, at Kadapa district. 2. According to the petitioner, the petitioner-Society was registered under the Public Societies Registration Act with an intention to establish educational institutions for providing good educational facilities in the area. With the said intention, as the petitioner proposed to start an institution for providing College of Education, the petitioner made an application to the 1st respondent seeking no-objection certificate for obtaining permission from the National Council for Teacher Education. Though the said representation was made as early as on 10th September 2004, the respondents did not consider the same and pass any orders. Therefore, the petitioner is constrained to approach this Court. 3. At the time of hearing it is represented by the learned counsel for the petitioner that though the petitioner has made an application without there being any notification calling for the applications, but under almost identical circumstances where the other educational institutions have made their applications for the grant of no-objection certificate, the 1st respondent issued proceedings in G.O.Rt.No.1306, dated 14.11.2003 in favour of ‘Cresent Educational Academy, Kuppam’ granting no- objection certificate for establishing Hindi Pandit Training College at Kuppam. Similarly, by Proceedings in G.O.Ms.No.125, dated 17-10-2003, the 1st respondent also issued no-objection certificate for starting of Telugu Pandit Training College at Peddapally, Karimnagar district, in favour of ‘Vani Educational Society, Peddapally,’ for the academic year 2004-2005. As the petitioner is seeking identical relief, the inaction of the respondents is illegal and arbitrary, apart from discrimination. Hence, the learned counsel sought for appropriate directions to the respondents. 4. Heard the both sides and considered the material on record. 5. In view of the fact that the petitioner has made its application seeking no-objection certificate on par with some other educational institutions in whose favour the Government has already passed orders, which are placed at Page Nos.10 and 11 of the material papers, it is appropriate to direct the respondents to consider the petitioner’s application and pass appropriate orders expeditiously, preferably within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the order. 6. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. ___________________ S.Ananda Reddy, J. 12…07…2005 Kvh To 1 The Principal Secretary to Government, School Education Department, Government of A.P., Secretariat Buildings, Hyderabad. 2 The Chairman, State level standing Committee, Commissioner and Director of the School Education, Hyderabad. 3) Two CCs to G.P., for School Education, High Court Buildings, Hyderabad.
