CORAM : D.D. SINHA AND A.P. BHANGALE, JJ. DATED : JANUARY 19, 2009 Heard Shri Chandurkar, learned Counsel for the petitioner, Mrs. Dangre, learned Additional Government Pleader for the respondent no.1, and Shri Kulkarni, learned Counsel for the respondent no.2. Shri Chandurkar, learned Counsel for the petitioner, states that petitioner submitted application dated 19.10.2007 to the respondent no.2 University seeking permission to start Arts and Science College at Ghugus, Taluq and District Chandrapur. The respondent University recommended the proposal of the petitioner to the State Government under Section 82(4) of the Maharashtra Universities Act, 1994 for necessary 2 action. However, till this date, the petitioner has not received any communication from the respondent State either rejecting or accepting proposal of the petitioner and, therefore, it is prayed that appropriate direction in this regard may be given to the State Government. Mrs. Dangre, learned Additional Government Pleader for the respondent no.1, states that proposal of the petitioner was rejected by the State Government by passing a reasoned order. However, communication in this regard issued to the University only mentions that proposal was rejected, but the reasons are not mentioned therein. It is submitted that reasons given by the State Government for rejecting the proposal of the petitioner shall be furnished to the petitioner within fifteen days from the date of communication of this order. In the backdrop of the above referred facts as well as for the reasons given by us in order dated 19.1.2009 passed in Writ Petition No.2860/2008, we dispose of the petition with direction to the State Government to furnish to the petitioner the reasons for rejecting proposal 3 of the petitioner within a period of fifteen days from the date of receipt of this order. Copy of this order, duly authenticated by the Court Sheristedar, be given to the learned Additional Government Pleader. JUDGE JUDGE khj
