THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.RAMALINGESWARA RAO WRIT PETITION NO.24515 OF 2011 ORDER:

The petitioner's society is a registered society, which wanted to establish B.Ed., college in the name of Sarada College of Education and submitted an application through online on 30-09-2010 for grant of recognition for B.Ed., course for the academic year 2011-12. It was followed by another application, dated 06-10-2010 by hand and it was acknowledged. As the petitioner's society applied for B.Ed., course under minority status, the minority status certificate was not submitted along with the application as the State Government was issuing the said certificate only after making the application for recognition to any course.

However, the Government issued the minority status certificate on 01-02-2011. After receipt of the minority status certificate, another application was submitted to the respondent on 21-02-2011. But, the respondent did not communicate any decision. The respondent framed new regulations for recognition, which came into force w.e.f. 28-11-2014.
