Basheer, J. ------------------------------------------ W.A. No.2033 of 2009 ------------------------------------------ Dated this the 6th day of November, 2009 JUDGMENT A.K.Basheer, J. This writ appeal is at the instance of the management of an unaided college. 2. The appellant impugns the judgment of the learned Single Judge in W.P.(C) No.33006 of 2008 by which the appellant has been directed to execute the necessary agreement with the Government in the prescribed format. 3. Anyhow, we need not refer to the various contentions raised by the parties in the writ petition at this stage, in view of the intervening development. 4. When this writ appeal was taken up for consideration on October 28, 2009, the learned Government Pleader on getting instructions from the Director of Collegiate Education had informed us that the Director had already received the application from the appellant for grant of No Objection Certificate and that the application W.A.No.2033 of 2009. - 2 - was being processed. In response to the above, the learned counsel for the appellant submitted that the management was prepared to enter into an agreement with the Government at the earliest as insisted by the University. 5. Today when the case has come up for further consideration, learned Government Pleader submits that the appellant had already been heard by the Secretary to Government in this regard. He further submits that all necessary steps would be completed and agreement executed without any further delay, at any rate, within an outer limit of two weeks. 6. The above submission is recorded and the writ appeal is closed with a direction to respondent No.1 to ensure that the agreement between the Government and the appellant is executed within two weeks from today.
