O R D E R

% 20.02.2018 The petitioner has filed the present petition being aggrieved by the fact that its application for grant of recognition for conducting Diploma in Elementary Education, was rejected on the ground that a negative recommendation had been given by the State of Haryana. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the said rejection by the respondent was illegal and arbitrary as the same overlooks the vital fact that the petitioner's application was made much prior to the imposition of ban by the State of Haryana.

Notice. Ms.Monika Arora, Advocate accepts notice and fairly submits that the matter is squarely covered by the earlier judgment of this Court wherein based on the decision taken by the respondents themselves that cases where applications were made before the date

of imposition of ban, would be favourably considered subject to fulfilling of other criteria.

In view of the stand taken by the respondents, the petition is allowed. The order dated 30.08.2016, passed by the respondent no.2 rejecting the petitioner's application for recognition is quashed. The petitioner's application, being otherwise in order, the respondents are directed to process the application of the petitioner before 3rd March, 2018, which is the last date for grant of recognition for the academic session 2018-19.

The writ petition is disposed of with the above directions. A copy of this order be given dasti under the signatures of the Court Master.
