Mr.R.D.Suryawanshi for petitioner. Mr.C.R.Sonawane, AGP for State. CORAM: B.H.MARLAPALLE & J.H.BHATIA,JJ. December 12, 2006. P.C. . We had heard this petition yesterday and leave was granted to amend to join the Joint Director, Higher Education as an additional respondent and however, there was some doubt as to whether the concerned college i.e. R.P.Gogate Arts and Science and R.V. Joglekar Commerce College at Ratnagiri run by the Ratnagiri Education Society would be within the jurisdiction of the Joint Director, Higher Education, Kolhapur or the Joint Director, Higher Education, Mumbai. Undoubtedly the said college is affiliated to the University of Mumbai. Mr. Sonawane, the learned AGP, on instructions, states 2 that the said college falls within the jurisdiction of the Joint Director, Higher Education, Mumbai Region. We have also noted that the said college has not been impleaded as one of the respondents though the report sought to be implemented by the respondent - University pertains to the said college. . We, therefore, deem it appropriate that the petitioner should approach to the Joint Director, Higher Education, Mumbai Region, Mumbai and submit a representation along with the report sought to be implemented in this petition and request the said authority for directions to take action as per the said report, in case the said report has not been implemented as yet. . We, therefore, dispose off this petition by giving liberty to the petitioner to submit a representation to the Joint Director, Higher Education, Mumbai Region, Mumbai and if such a representation is submitted within a period of four weeks from today, we direct the said Joint Director, Higher Education to take appropriate steps on the said report as expeditiously as possible so as to ensure that in case it has not been implemented by 3 now the same shall be implemented within a period of six months. . Writ to go to the Joint Director, Higher Education, Mumbai Region, Mumbai forthwith. (J.H.BHATIA,J.) (B.H.MARLAPALLE,J.)
