CORAM : BILAL NAZKI AND SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,JJ DATED : 27TH APRIL, 2009. P.C. :- 1. The petitioner had moved an application on 13.5.2008 seeking permission to start a junior college. The petitioner claimed that its application has not been decided and prayed that direction be given for application to be decided. But in para (c) of the prayers, the petitioner also sought interim direction for stay of the operation of order dated 8.10.2008. Infact the order dated 8.10.2008 is the final order dismissing its application dated 13.5.2008. In any case, we construe this Writ Petition has having been filed to challenge the order dated 8.10.2008. Counter affidavit has been filed and we have 2 heard the learned Counsel for the parties. In the counter, it has specifically been mentioned that the application of the petitioner was considered and rejected as it did not fall within the norms. Another college was working within four kilo meters of the place where this college was sought to be opened. It is also stated that the financial status of the petitioner was not sound. They have annexed a certificate, which shows that only Rs.5000/- were to the credit of the petitioner as on the date of filing of the application. The learned Counsel for the petitioner, however, has drawn our attention to a photo-copy annexed to the Petition, which shows that the petitioner had a term deposit of Rs.5 lakh with State Bank of India. We do not know whether this certificate was ever produced before the respondent or not. The learned Counsel for the respondent states that this certificate has never been produced before the respondents. For these reasons, we do not find merit in the Petition and it is dismissed as such. [BILAL NAZKI,J.] [SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J.]
