Mr. Amitesh Kumar, learned counsel for the Petitioners submits that Petitioner No. 1 College was established by Petitioner No. 2 and vide orders dated 31.07.2001 and 18.09.2002, recognition was granted for conducting PTC (D.El.Ed) course. However, Respondents are not displaying the name of the College in the list of recognized institutions on their official website. Thus, Petitioners are compelled to approach this Court for a direction to the Respondents to update the status of the institute and display its name in the list of recognized institutions for the said course. It is submitted that in the past, several orders have been passed by this Court issuing similar direction, copies of which have been filed along with the writ petition. 5.

Mr. Rupal, learned counsel for the Respondents, on instructions, fairly and candidly submits that Respondents have no objection to the writ petition being allowed, subject to verification by the Respondents. 6.

Thereafter, communication to this effect will be sent to the affiliating body as well as Department of Higher Education, Government of Gujarat, within a period of two weeks from the date the status is uploaded.
