CWP No.15456 of 2009 : 1 : In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh. Date of decision: 07.10.2009. Sita Ram Arya Memorial College of Education village Bherian, Post Office, Muklan, District Hisar, through its Secretary Ajay Shiva. ... Petitioner. Versus State of Haryana and another ... Respondents Present: Mr.Manjeet Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. PERMOD KOHLI, J. (Oral): The petitioner-College has been established to impart B.Ed. Education in the State of Haryana. The petitioner-College has applied for grant of recognition by the NCTE. It appears that the NCTE earlier did not decide the application of the petitioner. The petitioner approached the Rajasthan High Court. However, during the pendency of the writ petition, the NCTE decided to grant recognition and on that basis the writ petition filed by the petitioner came to be disposed of vide order dated 16.09.2009. Thereafter, the petitioner filed the Contempt Petition. The NCTE, however, granted letter of recognition to the petitioner on 06.10.2009 (Annexure P-3). The petitioner also applied for affiliation with the Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra. CWP No.15456 of 2009 : 2 : The University also granted affiliation to the petitioner-College. The recognition/affiliation has been granted for intake capacity of 100 seats for the session 2009-2010. In the State of Haryana, admissions to the B.Ed. Courses are made through the Common Entrance Test which was conducted by the competent authority constituted by the State of Haryana on 17.09.2009. At the relevant time, the petitioner-College had no recognition/affiliation and, thus, could not be included in the list of institutions brought under the Common Entrance Test. Now the petitioner has been granted recognition/affiliation. On the basis of the Common Entrance Test, admissions were made to the existing colleges in the State of Haryana, who were notified for Common Entrance Test. After the first and second counselling, the number of seats remained vacant and an Association of the Affiliated Colleges (Self Financing) of Haryana, approached this Court through CWP Nos.11272 and 11287 of 2009, seeking a direction for filling up of the available seats. This Court passed various interlocutory orders including order dated 17.09.2009 for holding fresh counselling and making admissions to the available seats in those colleges. Undisputedly, the petitioner-College could not get benefit of the aforesaid order as it had no recognition/affiliation as on the date of the passing of the aforesaid order dated 17.09.2009. The recognition/affiliation was granted to the petitioner-College only on 06.10.2009 (Annexure P-7). The petitioner is seeking a direction for CWP No.15456 of 2009 : 3 : participation in the counselling through the medium of the present writ petition. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, the relief claimed by the petitioner is declined for the simple reason that the petitioner-College was not notified for the Common Entrance Test as it had no recognition/affiliation at the relevant time, even when the directions were passed by this Court on 17.09.2009 it had no recognition/affiliation. The petitioner can await for admissions for the next session. In this view of the matter, present petition is disposed of. 07.10.2009.
