Mr. Kumar, learned counsel accepts notice on behalf of the respondent and requests for some time to obtain instructions. 4.

From a perusal of the prayer clause of the present petition, it is clear that the petitioner Institute only prays for decision on its pending application dated 18.11.2024 and it is the right of the petitioner get his application decided by the respondent Council. 5.

Mr. Kumar, learned counsel for the respondent, vehemently opposes the said prayer which is only seeking processing of the application of the petitioner Institute and decision on the same. 6.

For the said reasons, I am of the view that the petition needs to be allowed as the pending application of the petitioner Institute needs to be decided.

7.

Accordingly, the petition is allowed and the pending application dated 18.11.2024 shall be processed and decided by the respondent within 4 weeks from today.

The petition is disposed of in the aforesaid terms. JASMEET SINGH, J MAY 13, 2026 / (MS) The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above. The Order is downloaded from the DHC Server on 14/05/2026 at 12:41:32
