Petitioners Vs. The Member Secretary, National Council For Teachers Education and ors. .. Respondents Mr. C.K. Thomas i/by C.K. Thomas and Associate for petitioners. Ms. S.S. Bhende, AGP for respondent nos.2 and 3. Mr. Nilesh Ukey i/by Mr. Rui Rodrigues for respondent no.4. CORAM: B. H. MARLAPALLE & SMT. NISHITA MHATRE JJ. SEPTEMBER 06, 2011. P.C. 1. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and also perused the impugned appellate order dated 26/5/2011. 2. In the first order itself, the WRC had rejected the petitioner’s application on account of the inadequacy of land being made available for the B.Ed. College and the Appellate Authority had remanded to reconsider 2 aswp-6344-11 the issue. On remand, the WRC re-examined the record and rejected the application for permission to open a B.Ed. College. In the second round of appeal, the Appellate Authority has noted that though the school standing on the subject plot of land admeasuring 2548 sq.mtrs. was non functioning and only a building was standing, the gift deed in respect of the land concerned indicated that the land was to be utilized only for accommodating the ever increasing number of school students. The Appellate Authority also noted that the minimum requirement of land for a B.Ed. College is 2500 sq. mtrs. and, therefore, the appeal has been rejected. We do not find any error in the concurrent views taken by the WRC as well as the National Council for Teachers Education, which is the Appellate Authority. 3. Hence, the petition is rejected. (SMT. NISHITA MHATRE J.) (B. H. MARLAPALLE, J.)
