Bhandarkar, counsel for the petitioner. Ms K.D. Khade, A.G.P. for respondent no.1. Mr. Haq, counsel for the respondent no.2. CORAM : D.D. SINHA & F.M. REIS JJ. DATE : 18 th MARCH , 2010 . Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned A.G.P. for respondent no.1 and the learned counsel for the respondent no.2. The learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner-society has submitted the proposals/applications dated 31/10/2008 to the respondent no.2 - university for opening new colleges at Kardha, Tah. and Dist. Bhandara and Jamb( Kandri), Tah. Mohadi, Dist. Bhandara. It is contended that both these proposal were considered favourably by the respondent no.2 - university as per the procedure and law applicable in this regard and 2 recommended the same to the State Government for grant of necessary permission in this regard. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the State Government has not taken any decision on these proposals/applications and hence the petitioner has filed the present petition seeking direction to the State Government to consider these proposals and take a decision in this regard and communicate the same to the petitioner The learned A.G.P. states that the decision, if already taken by the State Government, would be communicated to the petitioner within a period of three weeks from the date of communication of this order. It is really unfortunate that in spite of our earlier orders and the directions given to the State Government in earlier writ petition to communicate the reasons to the applicants those who have applied for opening of new colleges and whose applications were recommended by the university and rejected by the State Government, the State Government in spite of repeated directions, failed to communicate the reasons or the orders of rejection to the applicants. Even in the present petition the applicant is not aware about the decision, if any, taken by the State 3 Government in respect of the proposals/applications which were submitted by the petitioner for opening of the new colleges in the year 2008 and the petitioner has to file the present petition and to seek directions to the State Government to decide the said proposals/applications and communicate the reasons thereof. It is in such circumstances, we direct the State Government to deposit the costs of Rs.3,000/- (Rupees Three Thousand Only) in this Court within a period of four weeks. The petitioner is entitled to withdraw the same. JUDGE JUDGE Tambaskar.
