Petitioners Vs The Regional Director, NCTE Bhopal & Others .. Respondents WITH WRIT PETITION NO. 4249 OF 2009 Mohamedwalla Trust and Another .. Petitioners Vs The Regional Director, NCTE Bhopal & Others .. Respondents Shri. C.K. Thomas i/b M/s. C.K. Thomas & Associates for petitioners Shri. S.M. Shah with Smt. S.V. Bharucha for respondent no. 3 Shri. S.R. Nargolkar, AGP for State Shri. Uday P. Warunjikar for respondent nos. 1 and 2 CORAM : BILAL NAZKI & SMT. V.K. TAHILRAMANI, JJ. DATE : 24th June, 2009 P.C.: 1. The Petitioners have applied for grant of permission to start institution for D. Ed course as minority institution. It was rejected by RMA wp4053-09.sxw 2 the respondent no. 1 and one of the ground for rejection was that the petitioners had not placed before respondent no. 1 any certificate certifying that it was minority institution. Secondly, at that point of time, the Government of Maharashtra had imposed a ban on granting permission to start D.Ed. courses in new colleges but later on the National Council of Teacher's Education wrote a communication to the respondent no. 1 that the restrictions imposed on granting of permission to new colleges would not apply to the minority institutions. Since the restriction of not granting permission to the petitioners institutions is not in force and the petitioners maintain that they had submitted minority certificate that they are minority institutions even earlier and are in a position to submit a certificate afresh. Therefore, in this view of the mater, we direct that matter be re considered by the respondent no. 1 for ensuing academic year. With these observations and after hearing counsels for the parties, petitions are disposed of. [ BILAL NAZKI, J] [ SMT. V.K. TAHILRAMANI, J] RMA wp4053-09.sxw 3 RMA wp4053-09.sxw
