The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that though the petitioner had applied for recognition of two units comprising 100 seats for the D.EI.ED course, the respondent no.2 has granted recognition for only one unit i.e. 50 seats and till date has not communicated any decision regarding the second unit comprising of 50 seats. He further submits that the respondent no.2 has till date, not pointed out any deficiency/reason for not granting recognition for the second unit.

He therefore prays that the respondents be directed to consider

the contentions raised by the petitioner in the present writ petition before taking a final decision in respect of recognition of the second unit.

National Counsel for Teacher Education & Anr. and W.P.(C)5017/2016 titled Sant Tapasvi Narayan Das Foundation and Anr V. National Counsel for Teacher Education and Anr. and prays for similar directions.

Learned counsel appearing for the respondent/NCTE on advance notice is unable to either deny or admit the contentions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner.

Keeping in view the contentions raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner and the orders passed by this Court, the respondents are directed to treat the present writ petition as a representation and decide the same by passing a reasoned and speaking order within six weeks.

If the petitioner is aggrieved by the said order, he will have liberty to take legal recourse as per by law. The petition stands disposed of in the above terms. REKHA PALLI, J JANUARY 30, 2018 rd
