% 26.02.2020 CM No. 7804/2020 1.

Allowed, subject to just exceptions.

W.P.(C) 2231/2020 & CM No.7803/2020 2.

Issue notice. MPs. Niharika Rai accepts notice for respondents. 3.

With the consent of the counsel for the parties, the matter is taken up for final hearing and disposed of today itself. 4.

The limited grievance of the petitioner is that pursuant to the decision taken by the Northern Regional Committee (NRC) in its 285th meeting held between 5th and 8th June, 2019 to constitute a Visiting Team ("VT") [to ascertain and scrutinize essential documents concerning the petitioner, such as, land documents, building, CLU, BCC, non-encumbrance certificate and other connected documents], there has been no movement in the matter. W.P.(C) 2231/2020 1/2

5.

It is the petitioner's case that the VT inspected the petitioner's facilities on 12.7.2019 and 13.7.2019.

6.

There is however, no explanation as to why the petitioner did not approach the Court up until now, especially when the petitioner is aware of the fact that the cut-off date for academic session 2020-21 stands fixed as 3.3.2020.

7.

Given these circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the concerned regional committee i.e. Western Regional Committee/Northern Regional Committee to take the next steps in the matter in consonance with National Council for Teacher Education (Recognition Norms and Procedure) Regulations, 2014 and extant provisions of law at the earliest and if possible, before the cut-off date fixed for academic session 2020-21.

8.

Resultantly, pending application shall stand closed. 9.

Dasti under the signatures of the Court Master. RAJIV SHAKDHER, J FEBRUARY 26, 2020/pmc W.P.(C) 2231/2020 2/2
