O R D E R

% 27.02.2018 Vide the present petition, the petitioner has impugned the order dated 14.10.2016 passed by respondent no.2, whereby the petitioner application dated 23.06.2015 for seeking recognition for B.A.B.Ed/B.Sc.B.Ed course was rejected on the ground that the State of Haryana vide its order dated 12.04.2016 imposed ban to the recognition of new B.Ed colleges.

The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that keeping in view the decision taken by respondent no.1 itself to process the application subject to their meeting other eligibility criteria in the cases of various similarly placed institutes where the application of recognition, had been made prior to the date of the ban imposed by State of Haryana, the impugned order is liable to be set aside and

prays that the respondents be directed to process the petitioner's application dated 23.06.2015 for grant of recognition by ignoring the State Ban imposed by State of Haryana on 12.04.2016. He relies on order dated 20.02.2018 passed by this Court in W.P.(C)No.1593/2018 titled as O P Memorial College Of Education v. National council for Teacher Education & Anr.

Ms.Monika Arora, learned counsel for the respondents, who appears on advance notice does not dispute the aforesaid position. Accordingly the impugned order passed by respondent no.2 is set aside, subject to the petitioner meeting other eligibility criteria and the respondents are directed to decide the application of the petitioner with a reasoned and speaking order within four weeks, by ignoring the ban imposed by the State of Haryana.

Needful shall be done within four weeks.

Needless to say that in case the petitioner is aggrieved by the decision taken by the respondents, he would be at liberty to take legal recourse as per law.

The petition is disposed of in the aforesaid terms. REKHA PALLI, J FEBRUARY 27, 2018 sr
