IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 13764 of 2011. [O&M] Date of Decision: 30th November, 2011. Doon Valley Trust [Regd.] Petitioner through Mr. Namit Gautam, Advocate Versus Union of India & Ors. Respondents through Ms. Amit Rao, Advocate for respondents No.2 and 3. 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 proposes to establish a Polytechnic College at Karnal to impart Diploma Course in different branches of Engineering. The Prescribed Regulatory Authority – All India Council for Technical Education has laid down the norms [Annexure P-2], according to which the proposed institute must have 1.5 acres of land in other than rural areas, i.e., urban areas and 5 acres in the rural area. The petitioner Trust has admittedly earmarked a piece of 1.5 acres of land owned by it for establishing its Doon Valley Polytechnic College. The Inspection Team sent by the AICTE has raised an objection, on the basis of which affiliation has been declined to the petitioner-Trust, to the effect that the land earmarked for establishing the Polytechnic College is in the 'rural area' and as such it is required to have 5 Acres of land. The petitioner – Trust on the other hand relies upon a certificate issued by the Municipal Corporation, Karnal dated 21.02.2011 [Annexure P-3] certifying that the land of the petitioner is situated within the municipal limits. In the light of these conflicting reports, in my considered view, the short controversy can be resolved by the AICTE by sending its Inspection Team again to Karnal at the expenses of the petitioner- Trust to enable the said team to re-verify the location of the petitioner's land. The Inspection Team may also visit the office of the Municipal Corporation, Karnal to find from the records as to whether the petitioner's land where it proposes to establish the Polytechnic College is situated within the municipal limits. The Executive Officer, Municipal Corporation, Karnal is directed to produce the original records in this regard before the Inspection Team. If the records are not with the Municipal Corporation, Karnal and/or are lying with the Revenue Authorities, Tehsildar, Karnal is directed to produce the said records before the Inspection Team. The decision for the grant of affiliation to the petitioner Trust shall depend upon the report to be submitted by the Inspection Team, as directed above. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to the AICTE to depute an Inspection Team to carry out the inspection, as directed above, within a period of one month from the date a certified copy of this order is received. Disposed of. Dasti. November 30, 2011. ( SURYA KANT ) dinesh JUDGE
