The Director and Faculty’s appointed be regularized by duly constituted selection committee of Pune University and approval be obtained. 2. Seminars and Workshops be conducted. The above conditions should be complied within the period of 3 months and the Compliance Report be submitted to the University through the Chairman of the Committee.” 2. In the order dated 12 July 2011 this Court had noticed that as per the report of the Expert Committee of AICTE, the petitioner college had adequate and suitable instructional spaces ready in terms of area, number, finishing and adequacy and suitability of furniture so also the administration areas are also found to be adequate and suitable. However, there were shortfalls in the amenities spaces. The petitioners had undertaken that the shortfalls will be taken care of and thereafter the Expert Committee was directed to inspect the petitioner college again as per order dated 27 July 2011. Thereafter as per order dated 3 August 2011 the report dated 31 July 2011 of the Expert Visiting Committee was taken on record indicating that all the norms relating to the computers and software were also complied with, but there were some deficiencies about barrier free environment for physically handicapped students. In view of the statement made on behalf of the petitioner college that there were no physically handicapped students, but still the petitioner would provide all the necessary requirements for barrier free environment to the physically handicapped, this Court had directed the University to send its inspection team. As indicated earlier the Local Inquiry Committee of the University of Pune has made gopi 3 WP-5017-11 positive recommendation in favour of the petitioner college. Therefore, nothing further survives in this petition. Hence, we dispose of the petition with direction to the University of Pune to consider the petitioner’s application for affiliation and also direct the AICTE to consider the petitioner’s application for approval. 3. We further record the statement being made by Mr. Behere, the learned Additional Govt. Pleader that the last date for admissions to Engineering Colleges has been extended upto 25 September 2011. 4. In view of the above, nothing further survives in this petition and we dispose of the same with the above observations. (CHIEF JUSTICE) (MRS.ROSHAN DALVI, J.)
