Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.RAMA RAO PHILKHANA Counsel for the Respondent No.: . The Court made the following: Form-NIC-OGS/WP{UMA} THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.16645 of 2003 ORDER: The petitioner seeks to issue a Writ of Mandamus, directing the Bar Council of India to grant approval of affiliation to its college on a permanent basis for the academic year 2003-04 and to refund the amounts paid on 26.06.2002 and 25.07.2003 and desist from demanding payment of the so called inspection fee and the guarantee amount as and when they like. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner placed proceedings of the Bar Council of India, dated 07.06.2004, extending approval of the affiliation to the petitioner law college to impart 3 year as well as 5 year law course with intake of existing sections for a period of five years i.e. for the academic year 2004-05 to 2008-09. In view of the aforesaid proceedings, I am of the opinion that nothing survives for adjudication in the present writ petition. But, however, as and when the Bar Council of India insists for payment of any inspection fee and guarantee amount for extension of approval of affiliation, it is always open for the petitioner to question the said action, if any. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, closed. No order as to costs. _____________________ V.ESWARAIAH,J Dated: 24.06.2008 Dsr ....
