IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA CWP No.1438 of 2009 Decided on : June 28, 2010 Northern International Education and Research Centre …Petitioner. Versus State of H.P. and others …Respondents. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Surjit Singh, Judge. Whether approved for reporting?1 For the Petitioner : Mr. Ajay Mohan Goel, Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. R.P. Singh, Assistant Advocate General. Surjit Singh, J (Oral) Affidavit, in response to order dated 21st June, 2010, has been filed by the Principal Secretary to the Government of Himachal Pradesh, though the order was that it was to be filed by the same Secretary, who had filed the reply to this Writ Petition. 2. In the affidavit, it is stated that the decision was taken for setting up the Centre of Excellence at Tanda, in the Cabinet meeting held on 26th December, 2009. But, in the reply to writ petition, which is dated 18th June, 2009, while answering to paras 12 to 14, it was stated that the decision had been taken to shift the Centre from Shimla to Tanda. To reconcile the contradiction as to the date on which the decision was actually taken, I sent for the Secretary, who swore the affidavit, in support of the reply Whether reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? …2… as also the Principal Secretary, who has sworn the affidavit, in response to order date 21st June, 2010. They have shown me the noting portion on the file, according to which proposal, for shifting the Centre from Shimla to Tanda, was submitted to the Hon’ble Chief Minister, who approved it on 14th May, 2009. 3. Learned counsel representing the petitioner says that it may be verified from the record produced by the Government functionaries, whether Government of India has taken the decision to shift the Centre from Shimla to Tanda and whether such decision had been conveyed to the State Government by the Central Government. Principal Secretary to the Government says that no decision has been conveyed by the Central Government to the State Government, so far. 4. During the course of hearing of the matter, learned counsel representing the petitioner has submitted that the private party, which had been issued No Objection Certificate, for setting up a Training Centre at Dharamshala, has not been allowed by the Indian Nursing Council to start the training. He submits that in place of that private party, the candidature of the present petitioner, for issuance of No Objection Certificate, may be directed to be considered by the Government. 5. In view of the abovestated position, writ petition is disposed of with the following orders: …3… Petitioner may, within one week from today, make a representation to the Principal Secretary (Health), for issuance of No Objection Certificate, for starting training courses in GNM and B.Sc. Nursing, with attachment with Zonal Hospital, Dharamshala, and such a representation, if made within the aforesaid one week period, shall be decided by a reasoned order by the Principal Secretary (Health) to the government of Himachal Pradesh, within three weeks of its submission. Pending applications also stand disposed of. June 28, 2010(sd) ( Surjit Singh ), J
