Pathak, learned Standing Counsel Education Department appearing for the respondent No.1 and Mr. S. Khound, learned Standing Counsel, BTC appeari ng for the respondent Nos.2, 3 and 4. None appears for the respondent No.5. The grievance of the petitioners in the present petition is relating to non consideration of the request to grant permission for establi shment and running of the institution for imparting education in 10+2 level. Ac cording to the petitioners, though they submitted the application as required un der Section 4 of the Assam Non Government Educational Institution (Regulation an d Management) Act, 2006 (in short, the Act ) before the Director seeking permi ssion and 2 (two) enquiries were made by the authority concerned, initially by t he Inspector of Schools, Kamrup District Circle and thereafter, by the Inspector of Schools, Baksa (Annexure-9 to the writ petition), no final decision has been taken by the Director till date. The petitioners, therefore, have prayed for a direction to the Director to consider the said request for granting the permission. No affidavit-in-opposition has been filed by any of the respondents till date. Since it is the claim of the petitioners that they have filed the application seeking the permission as required under Section 4 of the Act, the Director is required to dispose of such application keeping in view the provisions contained in the said Act and subject to fulfilment of the condition s stipulated therein, which according to the petitioner, has not been done by th e Director. In view of the aforesaid position, the present writ peti tion is disposed of with a direction to the respondent No.3, the Director of Edu cation, BTAD to consider and dispose of the petitioners’ request for granting pe rmission as required under Section 4 of the Act, if such request has not already been decided. Such decision shall be taken within a period of 2 (two) months f rom today. In the event such decision has already been taken, the petitioner sh all be intimated about the said decision within a week from today. It is needle s to say that if the decision has not yet been taken, the Director, as soon as t akes a decision within the aforesaid period of 2 (two) months, shall inform the petitioner, so that, if aggrieved, they may file an appeal before the State Gove rnment as provided in the said Act. The writ petition is according disposed of. No cost. A copy of this order be furnished to Mr. Khound, learned Standing Counsel, BTC.
