THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA W.P.No. 11719 of 2011 O R D E R: The complaint of the petitioners is with regard to the policy of the State of Andhra Pradesh in not permitting recognition of private B.Ed./D.Ed/Private Physical Education/Private Language Pandit training colleges as communicated under letter dated 7.1.2009 addressed to the National Council for Teacher Education. Acting thereupon, vide proceedings dated 16.4.2009 the National Council for Teacher Education rejected the names of the petitioners-institutions for grant of recognition to B.Ed., course. The petitioners seek a consequential direction to National Council for Teacher Education to grant recognition for the said course forthwith. The matter is squarely covered by the judgment, dated 16.12.2009 in W.P.No:6712 of 2009. Thereby, a learned Judge of this Court held that the power of the State Government to review the policy as to the necessity or otherwise of according permission to establish new colleges could not be extended to existing institutions. The learned Judge observed that the right that accrued to such colleges could not be taken away on account of subsequent change of policy. In terms of the aforestated decision, the writ petition is disposed of directing the National Council for Teacher Education to consider the petitioners’ case for granting permission for commencing B.Ed course independently and pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible. No order as to the costs. ________________________ JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA DATE: 25-4-2011. MVB.
