During the academic year 1999-2000, first respondent addressed the Correspondent of the petitioner college not to commence admissions into B.Ed., course for the academic year 1999-2000 unless and until the Government communicates the list of approved colleges of Education, for the said academic year. It was also informed that the Regional Joint Director of School Education would participate as a nominee of the Government in the admission committee. Assailing the same, present Writ Petition is filed. This Court admitted the Writ Petition on 31.10.1999 and by order of even date, made in W.P.M.P.No.26801 of 1999, suspended the impugned letter and permitted the petitioner college to go ahead with the selection, but not to admit the students. In that view of the matter, and also having regard to the fact that the academic year has expired long back, nothing survives in the Writ Petition. If any question arises as to role of the Government to nominate one of its officials in the admission committed, it is purely an academic question, which shall be considered in appropriate case. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed as infructuous. No costs. ________________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 4.8.2004 bnr // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1. The Secretary, Education Dept.
