CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE G.S.SANDHAWALIA

Present:

Mr. Pankaj Maini, Advocate, for the petitioner.

G.S.SANDHAWALIA, J. (Oral) The prayer in the present writ petition is for consideration of the case of the petitioner's-society for grant of provisional affiliation on the ground that the inspection has already been carried out on 15.07.2015 by the respondent-university.

It is the case of the petitioner that it had submitted a proposal form with the Department of Higher Education, Haryana for issuance of NOC and the same was issued on 15.11.2014 (Annexure P-4). The petitioner-institute had thereafter applied on 24.11.2014 (Annexure P-5) for affiliation of the degree college for the session 2014-15 alongwith requisite fee. Inspection team was also nominated on 08.07.2015 (Annexure P-6) by the respondent-university and as noticed, it is the case that the inspection has been conducted on 15.07.2015 for the present academic session 201516. However, no final decision on the affiliation has been taken. Counsel for the petitioner submits that a representation has also been filed on 30.09.2015 (Annexure P-7) but no action has been taken on the same. It is the case of the petitioner that similarly situated institute SHIVANI GUPTA 2015.10.14 17:00 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Chandigarh

CWP No. 22010 of 2015 namely the Government College for Women, Ateli, District Mohindergarh has been granted provisional affiliation on 30.09.2015. Counsel submits that he would be satisfied at this stage if a direction is issued to the respondents to take a decision on the said representation within a time bound frame since the academic session has already started and the institute will suffer irreparable loss since the earlier academic session has also been lost.

Keeping in view the limited relief sought, this Court does not feel necessary to call upon the respondents to file reply. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent no. 1 to take into consideration the representation dated 30.09.2015 (Annexure P-7) and decide the same within a period of 10 days from the date of receipt of certified copy of the order. Needless to say that in case the relief is to be denied, the order should contain reasons. 14.10.2015 (G.S.
