Barin Ghosh, C.J, (Oral) In the present Public Interest Litigation, the petitioner had highlighted that recognized but privately managed Teachers Training Schools were permitted to admit students on the basis of an executive order, which is contrary to the Rules made by the State in that regard. The State, in the pleadings filed by it, has accepted the truth and substance of the said contention and accordingly has withdrawn the said executive order. In addition to that, the State has filed an affidavit through the Principal Secretary, Higher Education Department stating that henceforth the State will ensure that admissions of students to such institutions take place only in accordance with the Rules made and not in derogation thereof. In such view of the matter, we think that the public purpose in the matter has served. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. (Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.) (Barin Ghosh, C.J.) 15.3.2011 Rathour
