CWP No. 900 of 2008 6.6.2008 Present: Mr. Trilok Jamwal, Advocate for the petitioner.. Mr. G.D. Sharma, Advocate for respondents . The petitioner’s application for re-affiliation has been rejected on the ground that it is delayed by 12 days. Though there is no statutory provision providing the limit of filing application for re-affiliation. However, it has been rejected in the light of the observations made in the judgment in CWP No. 103 of 2007, Indian Educational Society v. H.P. Board of School Education and another etc. of this Court, whereby the affiliation was granted by the orders of the Court. However, we are of the considered opinion that this Court can only direct the authority concerned to consider the application of re-affiliation of the petitioner in accordance with law by a speaking order. We have been further informed by the learned counsel that through this judgment referred to hereinabove affiliation was granted by the Board. Accordingly, we direct the respondents to consider the application for re-affiliation within a period of two weeks from today ignoring 12 days’ delay referred to above in their earlier order by a speaking order. :2: Before we part with, we would like to observe how long this re-affiliation will go on and on and sword of damocles will hang over the head of the petitioner-institution. Accordingly, we feel that after the provisional affiliation, there should be one-time final affiliation. It would be open for the authorities to inspect the institution from time to time and if they find something lacking, first show cause notice can be given and then deal with the matter in accordance with law. In the light of the observations made hereinabove and with the consent of the parties, the petition stands disposed of. Copy ‘Dasti’. (Jagdish Bhalla) Chief Justice. (Rajiv Sharma) Judge.
