THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.21255 of 2009 DATED: 06.10.2009 Between: Shams-Ul-Uloom College of Education, Podili Grampanchayat, Polidi Mandal, Prakasam District, rep. by its President, M. Shamsheer Ali Baig. .. Petitioner And National Council for Teacher Education, Rep.by its Member Secretary, HANS Bhavan, Wing-II, Bhadurshah Marg, Near ITO, New Delhi and others. .. Respondents ORDER: Heard both sides. It is the case of the petitioner College that the recognition granted to it, for offering B.Ed. Course with annual intake of 100 students with certain terms and conditions, was withdrawn by the 2nd respondent- National Council for Teacher Education, Southern Regional Committee, by order dated 13.07.2009, on account of certain deficiencies, and, questioning the said order, it preferred a statutory appeal before the 1st respondent- National Council for Teacher Education. Alleging inaction on the part of the 1st respondent in disposing the said appeal, the petitioner filed Writ Petition No.17828 of 2009 before this Court and the same was disposed of on 26.08.2009, directing the 1st respondent to dispose of the appeal preferred by the petitioner within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the order. Now, the grievance of the petitioner is that, in spite of the aforesaid directions of this Court, the 1st respondent has not disposed of the appeal till date, having reserved the same on 17.09.2009 for orders. It is also the grievance of the petitioner that the similarly situated Colleges, without filing the statutory appeals, have directly approached this Court by way of writ petitions, which were disposed of, granting liberty to the said petitioner Colleges to file statutory appeal and directing the appellate authority to dispose of the same in accordance with law, after hearing the parties, and to maintain status quo in all respects, till such time, and in view of that status quo orders, those similarly situated Colleges have been allotted the students, whereas the petitioner College is denied of the same. Hence, this writ petition. In the facts and circumstances, since the appellate authority has not disposed of the appeal preferred by the petitioner within the time prescribed by this Court and the similarly situated Colleges have obtained status quo orders till the disposal of the appeals filed by them, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondent authorities to maintain status quo in all respects till the disposal of the appeal preferred by the petitioner. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _________________ JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA 6th October, 2009 Note:- Issue CC today. B/o IBL
