Per Court:

1.

The Petitioner challenges the order dated 08/09/2022, by which the recognition granted to it's institution to operate the Computer Science and Crop Science course, has been cancelled. 2.

Leave to correct prayer clause 'B'. Correction be carried out forthwith.

3.

The Appeal provided by the statute has been lodged by the Petitioner. The same is pending with Respondent No.3. Yet, a further order dated 21/10/2022 has been passed by Respondent No.3. 4.

The learned A.G.P appears on behalf of all Respondents.

75 WP.2669.2023.odt 5.

The situation that emerges from the record is that when a statutory Appeal preferred by the Petitioner is pending and no orders are passed, Respondent No.3 could not have proceeded to issue another consequential order dated 21/10/2022. 6.

In view of the above, this Petition is partly allowed. The order dated 21/10/2022 is quashed and set aside. 7.

The Appeal dated 19/09/2022 pending with Respondent No.2 at Mumbai, shall be considered and decided by the said authority on it's own merits, by following the due procedure laid down in law and by granting a reasonable opportunity of hearing to all the stakeholders. Let this exercise be completed by 31/05/2023. [ SANJAY A. DESHMUKH, J. ] [ RAVINDRA V. GHUGE, J. ] nga
