Institute of Elementary Teacher Education, Chodavaram, rep. by its Secretary and Correspondent. …..Petitioner And The Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Prl. Secretary, School Education Department & others. …..Respondents HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.33554 of 2010 ORDER : In this writ petition, the petitioner has questioned the orders of the Southern Regional Committee of the National Council for Teacher Education, dated 29th January 2009, issued in Proceedings No.F.SRO/NCTE/2008-2009/12132. The petitioner herein is an institute, which is already running B.Ed. Course. In the year 2004, it has submitted an application, dated 28th January 2004, seeking permission to run D.Ed. course. By impugned order, respondents have rejected the said application, based on the letter, dated 17th March 2009, issued by the 1st respondent-Government, wherein, directions were issued not to grant permission in respect of courses like B.Ed., D.Ed., Physical Education etc. In this writ petition, it is the case of the petitioner that as much as the application was filed much earlier to the issuance of instructions, dated 17th March 2009, their application is entitled to be considered, by applying the policy which was in force at the time of its filing. The learned counsel for petitioner has relied on a judgment of this Court in W.P.No.6712 of 2009, dated 6th December 2009, wherein, this Court has directed that the applications cannot be disposed of basing on the subsequent policy notified by the Government. It is submitted that this writ petition is also to be allowed in terms of the aforesaid judgment, which is not disputed by the learned Standing Counsel for respondents. As much as in this case, the petitioner-institute has submitted the application on 28th January 2004, following the aforesaid judgment in W.P.No.6712 of 2009, dated 6th December 2009, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition by setting aside the order, dated 29.01.2009, issued by the 3rd respondent in F.SRO/NCTE/2008- 2009/12132, with a direction to the respondents to re- consider the application of the petitioner in terms of the policy, which was in force at the time of filing such application and dispose of the same in accordance with the regulations, which are in force at that time. Subject to the above directions, this writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 28th February 2011 ajr
