Kumbhakoni, Associate Advocate General, for the State. CORAM: B ILAL NAZKI and A.P. DESHPANDE, JJ. DATE: APRIL 2, 2008 P.C.:- In Public Interest Litigation No. 117 of 2005, this Court passed an order on 30th January, 2008. A notice was issued to 14 institutions by the Government, and they had not filed a reply within the stipulated time. The notice given to them was as to why those institutions be not closed, as they were running without the requisite permission. Two of those institutions are the applicants herein, which have now filed these Review Petitions. 2. These institutions, admittedly, are not approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). However, they are affiliated to University. But they submit that no approval by AICTE is necessary. Therefore, the order passed by this Court should not apply to them. 3. After hearing the parties, we are of the view that the mattes 3 be considered by the Government whether these institutions need approval from AICTE or not, and the Applicants may, therefore, file representations before the Government within a period of two weeks, and if such representations are filed, the Government shall decide the same on merits, unmindful of the order passed by this Court, within a period of two weeks thereafter. 4. With the above observations and direction, the Review Petitions are disposed of. BILAL NAZKI, J. A.P. DESHPANDE, J.
