Petitioner has applied to the National Council of Teacher Education (NCTE)/respondent no.1 for grant of recognition for its D.El.Ed. Course with an application for the Session 2016-17. Petitioner had also deposited a sum of Rs.1,50,000/-. Petitioner was informed that the hard copy of the online application has not been submitted which the petitioner submitted explaining the delay for the reason because of the pendency of the application for an NOC with SCERT. The application of the petitioner was rejected on 17.6.2016 for non-submission of the NOC. Petitioner was aggrieved.
