JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER 03-04-2019 Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the University has produced before me a copy of the notification issued on 15.03.2019, whereby the petitioning Institution has been granted affiliation but only for academic session 2019-20. There is no dispute over the fact that the Institution in question, has been granted recognition by the National Council for
Patna High Court MJC No.294 of 2019(3) dt.03-04-2019 2/2 Teacher Education under sub-section (4) of Section 14 of the National Council for Teacher Education Act, 1993 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). Section 14 (6) of the Act requires that every examining body shall, on receipt of the order granting recognition under sub-section (4) of Section 14 of the Act, grant affiliation to the Institution. It does not envisage temporary recognition/affiliation. The language of Section 14(6) of the Act, mandates the examining body to grant affiliation, once recognition under Section 14(4) of the Act is granted. Without entering into that aspect, however, in view of the subsequent conduct of the University, no case of deliberate disobedience of this Court's order is made out. It is, however, observed that the Opposite parties should be careful in future while dealing with the orders of this Court.
This application stands dismissed.
