Chakra Teachers Training College And ANR v. West Bengal University Of Teachers Training Education Planning And Administration And ORS

21.11.2022 Item No. 20 Ct. No. 238 AKG WPA 24653 of 2022 Chakra Teachers Training College & Anr.

Versus

The West Bengal University of Teachers' Training Education Planning and Administration & Ors. Mr. Abhrotosh Majumder, Mr. Arkadipta Sengupta, Mr. Somdev Ash ...for the Petitioner Mr. Amitabrata Roy, Mr. Pradip Kumar Ghosh ...for University The petitioner is a B.Ed. College affiliated to West Bengal University of Teachers' Training Education Planning and Administration, respondent no. 1. The petitioner applied for renewal of affiliation. The last date for submission of application was 30th August, 2022. Admittedly, the petitioner though applied on April 20, 2022 for renewal, the said application was not accompanied by required fee of Rs.1 lakh. The petitioner made a representation for acceptance of the belatedly deposit of fees. The University declined.

It is not in dispute that the petitioner is affiliated to the University for last four years.

I am of the view that keeping in mind the interest of the students of the College, the belated application of the petitioner should be considered by the University. Accordingly, this writ petition being WPA 24653 of 2022 is disposed of with a direction upon the University

to accept the fees of Rs.1 lakh within three days from date. The petitioner will pay a sum of Rs. 10,000/- to the University as a cost for inconvenience caused to the University for the belated approach by the petitioner. Since the portal of the University does not accept belated payment, the petitioner will be at liberty to make such deposits manually. If such deposits are made within three days from date, the University will consider the application for renewal in accordance with law. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties expeditiously on compliance of usual legal formalities.
