DATE : 05.02.2016 Two prayers are made by the petitioners in the instant petition. By the first prayer, the petitioner - Sanstha seeks a direction to the respondents to consider the proposal submitted by the respondent no.5 to the respondent nos.1 to 4 in respect of the entitlement of the petitioner's college for being brought on 100% grant-in-aid w.e.f. 21.11.2008. By the second prayer, the petitioner - Sanstha seeks a direction to the respondent nos.1 to 5 to bring the petitioner no.1- College on 100% grant-in-aid from 21.11.2008 or from any other date which the respondent nos.1 to 5 would deem fit.

Ms Tajwar Khan, the learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing on behalf of the respondent nos.1 to 5 states that the proposal submitted by the respondent no.5 to the

0502wp3581.15.odt respondent nos.1 to 4 is pending before the respondent no.4 and a decision on the proposal of the petitioner - Sanstha for considering whether the College run by the petitioner - Sanstha would be entitled for 100% grant-in-aid would be decided, within a period of four weeks. It is stated that an appropriate decision would be taken in the matter, within a period of four weeks. Since by the first prayer the petitioner - Sanstha has sought a direction to the respondent nos.

1 to 4 to consider and decide the proposal of the petitioner - Sanstha for providing grant-in-aid to the College run by the petitioner- Sanstha and since the learned Assistant Government Pleader has made a statement that the said proposal would be decided within a period of four weeks, it would not be necessary to decide the second prayer made in the writ petition. If the proposal of the petitioner - Sanstha is answered in favour of the petitioner, there would be no need for the petitioner to take any further action. If the proposal of the petitioner - Sanstha is rejected, the petitioner would be free to challenge the same.

Hence, by accepting the statement made on behalf of the respondent nos.1 to 4 on the basis of the affidavit-in-reply tendered in this Court today that the respondent would decide the proposal of the petitioner within a period of four weeks, we dispose of the writ petition with no order as to costs.
