Issue notice to the respondents.

2.

Ms. Arunima Dwivedi accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. 3.

The substantive prayer made in the writ petition is as follows : "(a) issue an appropriate writ[s]/direction[s] or order[s] directing the NRC/WRC to decide the application of the petitioner institution in its next meeting."

4.

With the consent of counsel for the parties, the writ petition is taken up for hearing and final disposal.

5.

The limited prayer of the petitioner is that its application for grant of recognition of D.El.Ed. course qua academic session 2009-10 is not being processed despite a remand order being passed by the Appeal Committee of the NCTE on 31.10.2018.

5.

The petitioner claims that several representations and personal visits by its officers has been made to the office of the concerned Regional Committee between 03.11.2018 and 01.03.2020.

6.

To be noted, after the issuance of Gazette notification dated 27.01.2020, the regional committee which would perhaps deal with the petitioner's application would be the Western Regional Committee (in short "WRC") on account of the petitioner being located in Rajasthan. 7.

Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the concerned Regional Committee i.e. NRC/WRC to deal with the application of the petitioner at the next meeting that it may convene hereafter. RAJIV SHAKDHER, J MARCH 06, 2020 aj
