HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE INDERMEET KAUR

O R D E R

% 15.12.2017 Petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 04.07.2016 passed by the National Council for Teacher Education / respondent No. 1 wherein his application seeking recognition for conducting B.Ed / M.Ed Course had been declined. This was for the reason that the petitioner had no No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the concerned authority. The Regional Committee had also rejected the plea of the petitioner for the aforenoted reasons and this was endorsed by the appellate body / respondent No. 1. The relevant extract of the order of respondent No. 1 reads herein under as:- And whereas Appeal Committee noted that appellant institution was issued as Show Cause Notice (S.C.N) dated 21.10.2015 on grounds of non-submission of N.O.C issued by affiliating body alongwith

application. The appellant in its reply dated 31.10.2015 expressed its inability to get NOC from concerned authority. Other submissions made by the appellant in the Appeal Memoranda are not of much relevance. Appeal Committee, therefore, decided to confirm the refusal order dated 30.01.2016 issued by S.R.C, Bangalore for the reason stated therein.

Admittedly, the petitioner has obtained his NOC on 19.04.2017 which is much after the order dated 04.07.2016. The counter affidavit of respondents have been perused. They have negated the prayer sought by the petitioner. This court is not inclined to grant any relief to the petitioner except to the effect that the petitioner on moving an appropriate application before the competent authority may seek recognition for the aforenoted course for the next academic session which would be for the year 2018-19. The application could be filed by the petitioner would shall be disposed of by respondent / Southern Regional Committee expeditiously.

Judgment of National Council for Teacher Education and Anr vs Rambha College of Education; LPA No. 535/2017 will thus not apply to the facts of the present case.

Petition disposed of in the above terms.

INDERMEET KAUR, J DECEMBER 15, 2017/SU
