Om Shanti Educational Trust Petitioner through Mr. Jaivir Yadav, Advocate Versus Government of India & Ors. Respondents through Mr. G.S.Sandhu, Advocate, for respondent No. 1. Mr. Amrit Paul, Advocate, for AICTE. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT. 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? SURYA KANT, J. [ORAL] The petitioner-Trust applied for the grant of approval and affiliation to establish a new Polytechnic Institute. The infrastructure created by the petitioner to establish was inspected by the Inspection Committee constituted by the AICTE on 23.05.2011 and again on 23.07.2011. Thereafter, the Appellate Committee of the AICTE in its meeting held on 12.08.2011 declined to accord its approval to the petitioner-Trust on the plea that 'instructional area can not be verified from the documents submitted'. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that necessary documents to prove the availability of the instructional area have been produced and should there be reconsideration by the Competent Authority, the Trust is sanguine that the above reproduced objection would not sustain. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction that the authorized representative of the petitioner-Trust shall appear before the Appellate Committee or any other authorized Officer of the AICTE on 21.12.2011 at 11.00 AM along with necessary documents for the removal of the solitary objection conveyed vide the impugned Memo dated 24.08.2011 [Annexure P- 17]. In case the Appellate Committee or the authorized Officer has still any doubt, liberty is granted to the Committee/Officer to depute the Inspection Team to revisit the site at the expense of the petitioner-Trust before 23.12.2011 and thereafter take a final decision on or before 29.12.2011 before 1.00 PM. The representative of the petitioner-Trust shall remain present in the office of the AICTE to whom a copy of the decision that may be taken shall be handed-over personally. In case the objection of availability of the 'instructional area' stands removed to the satisfaction of the AICTE, necessary approval shall be granted. Disposed of. Dasti. Let a copy of this order be supplied during the course of the day. December 13, 2011. ( SURYA KANT ) dinesh JUDGE
