The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that it is no doubt true that the first semester examination was already over and, therefore, the affiliation for the year 2010-11 cannot be granted. It is submitted that as per 2` the procedures, if the application of the Institution for grant of affiliation is rejected/ refused by the respondents, it is obligatory on the part of the respondents 3 and 4 to inform the institution about rejection. It is submitted that in the instant case they failed to do so and, therefore, the petitioner institution has suffered a loss. 3.

In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of accordingly. JUDGE JUDGE patle 3`
