Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner college made a request to the respondents 1 & 2 in March, 2018 to accord affiliation in all five courses by paying affiliation fee to the University, however, on 06.05.2018 the respondents made an online advertisement that affiliation was given only to three courses by omitting B.Sc.

Thereupon, the petitioner college made a request through its letter dated 07.05.2018 to the Vice Chancellor, Kakatiya University, Warangal, to accord affiliation to the remaining two courses also and so far he has not received any communication from the respondents and thus, prayed for a direction to the respondents.
