Regarding objection at Sl.No.2 and 3, it was submitted that the institution had not received the ERC’s letter 21-11-08 purported to have been sent to the institution and therefore the question of institution responding to the said letter did not arise. As regard objection at Sl.No.4 , it was submitted that it was well known to all that the affiliating body of West Bengal was not countersigning the list of teaching staff of any institution under their jurisdiction on account of the then pending court case and therefore the institution submitted requisite affidavits regarding staff appointed to the ERC.

WHEREAS the appeal of Valiyavila Foundation's St. Tresa's College of Education, Kallam Dist., Kerala dated 10/04/2009 is against the Order No. F.SRO/NCTE/B.Ed/2008-2009/11029 dated 30/03/2009 of the Southern Regional Committee, Refusing recognition for conducting B.Ed course on the grounds “1) The institution submitted the required documents on 09.01.2009 and 02.02.2009 for issuance of Formal Recognition whereas the last date of issue of recognition for the academic session 2008-09 was 31.08.2008 itself as per regulations of NCTE”.

AND WHEREAS the Correspondent, Valiyavila Foundation's St. Tresa's College of Education (hereinafter referred to as the appellant), preferred an appeal dated 15/04/2009 to the National Council for Teacher Education, New Delhi (hereinafter referred to as the Council) under Section 18 of the NCTE Act, 1993 against the said Order.

AND WHEREAS the Government of Kerala meanwhile had taken a policy decision not to recommend grant of recognition to B.Ed. course for the academic session 2009-10. Shri. Joseph D. Fernandez, Managing Director & Amitha Reddy, Associate, Valiyavila Foundation's St. Tresa's College of Education, Kallam Dist. , Kerala presented the case of the appellant institution on 01-07-09. In the appeal and during personal presentation it was submitted that “the delay was beyond my control and humanly impossible inspite of all my trials to comply with. This is shown by the following documents: we I received the conditional recognition on 11.09.2007 and on 20.11.2007 itself, submitted staff list to the Kerala University since they did not cooperate with giving a nominee for interview, we did it without the nominee while trying to get the nominee. On 31.12.2007, we submitted again the staff list for approval without a nominee's interview, because Kerala University refused to give a nominee even after so many meetings. I met with the minister of education and sent him Objective of St. Tresa's College on January 9, 2008 as requested by him and signed a letter of understanding with the Government on January 17, 2008 hoping to get a nominee. On 28.09.2008, I went to High Court for help to get a Nominee for interview. On 27.03.2008, I asked for the State Govt. Representative

for interview committee as prescribed in your letter dated 11.09.2007. 08.04.2008 the State Govt. responds saying that a nominee was not needed. On 12.04.2008 Kerala University rejected my application and asked me to reapply. Kerala University refuses to sign the staff list approved by the interview committee together with the University nominee, saying that the High Court only ordered them to send a nominee, but did not order them to sign the list. 27.08.2008 Kerala University causes further delay asking for a second application from me. On 05.09.2009, The High Court Ordered the Kerala University to sign the staff list and send to the NCTE. On 17.09.2008 Kerala University endorsed the staff list and sent it to NCTE and did not inform me though cc. to me is mentioned. As soon as I found out about it, I sent the balance of the documents on 03.01.2009 to NCTE. Your letter dated August 22, 2008 which I received on August 26,2008 says that on July 21, 2008 the NCTE made a regulation to make the deadline of August 31, 2008 for 2008-09 course. I only got four days since I received the letter on the 26th to meet the deadline of the 31st. It seems that such a short time span, given for such a retroactive decision of such magnitude seem quite arbitrary and exceedingly unfair. There were two Supreme Court decisions called DSS Mahavidyalaya Vs State of Maharashtra and St. John's Institute Vs Tamil Nadu that State Govt.'s permission was not necessary for the decision of NCTE. The connotation is obviously about new applications and not about applications filed in 2006. We request finishing the process that we started in 2006 and delayed due to Kerala University”.

AND WHEREAS the Council noted that the application for recognition for B.Ed. course for 2007-08 was submitted by the institution to SRC on 6-10-06 and that the SRC issued Letter of Intent of decision to grant recognition to the institution subject to appointment of qualified faculty members, on 11-9-07. the Council also noted that there was considerable delay on the part of Kerala University and the institution could not comply with the requirement within the prescribed time limit due to circumstances beyond its control and that too after intervention of the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala in favour of the institution. the Council further noted that, obviously in the given circumstances of the case, the SRC vide its letter dated 23-01-09, had last allowed the institution to comply with the requirement indicated in the Letter of Intent prior to formal recognition within 15 days but refused grant of recognition vide order dated 30-3-09 on the ground of policy decision not to grant recognition for the academic session 2009-10 even though the institution had complied with the requirement on 9-01-09 i.e. before expiry of 15 days allowed.

(M) (Co-Ed) course on the grounds “Keeping in view of the negative recommendation received from the Maharashtra State Government in respect of D.Ed. course and directions received from NCTE Hqrs, the WRC decided that no further processing will be done in this case and communication to this effect to be made to this institution. As per above decision taken by WRC, the proposal of said institution is to be treated as closed, the FDRs towards Endowment Fund and Reserve Fund (in original) are returned herewith”.

AND WHEREAS the Correspondent, Adarsh Bahuuddeshia Sevabhavi Sanstha's Ramrao Patil D.Ed. College (hereinafter referred to as the appellant), preferred an appeal dated 30/04/2009 to the National Council for Teacher Education, New Delhi (hereinafter referred to as the Council) under Section 18 of the NCTE Act, 1993 against the said Order.

AND WHEREAS Shri Arun Srivastava, Managing Director, Adarsh Bahuuddeshia Sevabhavi Sanstha's Ramrao Patil D.Ed. College, Latur Dist. , Maharashtra presented the case of the appellant institution on 02-07-09. In the appeal and during personal presentation it was submitted “The refusal made by giving mere reference numbers of the letters dated 17.09.2008, dated 01.10.2008, dated 31.10.2008 issued by the Member Secretary of NCTE, New Delhi is not the perfect, complete and clear cause for refusal as nowhere the respondent has clarified that what are the contents of these letters and how those affect in negative in refusal of the recognition. Respondent, prior to its decision which is challenged before this Hon'ble Council by issuing an advance notice, has carried the actual inspection of the appellant institution through its competent expert representatives/ officers, and has confirmed the availability of the different basic fundamental things as contemplated U/s 14(3) (a) and (b) of the Act. It is very well observed in Para No. 68 of the judgement by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of State of Maharashtra V/s Sant Dnyaneshwar Shikshan Shashtra Mahavidyalaya reported in 2006 (4) SCC Page No.1 that merely on the basis of the recommendation of the State Government it would not be valid as well as proper to refuse the recognition but in instant matter it is made. Nowhere it is clarified till this moment that what are the different

grounds on which the State of Maharashtra has given its negative recommendation and so naturally it reveals that the respondent has failed to assess the reasonability as well as validity and sufficiency of the reasons, if any are given by the State of Maharashtra. In the absence of any such specific finding and the observations on the record it appears that the impugned Order is erroneous”.

AND WHEREAS the Council noted that on the recommendation of some of the State Government including the Sate Govt. of Maharashtra not to further recognize/permit institutions for conducting B.Ed./D.Ed. course, a public notice was issued by the NCTE on 2-10-08 through the newspapers to the affect that application for D.Ed. course for the academic session 2009-10 from the State of Maharashtra would not be considered and all such applications shall be returned to the institution alongwith the processing fees and documents. the Council also noted that the said step taken by the NCTE was a temporary measure for regulating the growth of teacher training institutions pending state-wise assessment of the manpower requirement of teachers in the country. Accordingly, NCTE Hqrs. had vide its letters dated 1-10-2008 and 31-10-2008 directed all the Regional Directors of NCTE not to recognize/permit the institutions for conducting the specific teacher training course as specified in the public notice issued by NCTE and to return all those applications which were received prior to issuance of public notice dated 2nd Oct, 2008. In view of this, the Council came to the conclusion that WRC was right in refusing the recognition to the institution for conducting D.Ed course by closing the file of the institution.

Your appellant was not given any show cause notice as to aforesaid grounds of refusal. The first reason for refusal is illegal as the stage of consideration of negative recommendations of the Government of Maharashtra under Clause 7(3) of the NCTE (Recognition, Norms & Procedure) Regulations 2007 was over in the 105th meeting of the WRC held on August 11-12, 2008 when the WRC considered the case of your appellant and decided not to issue show cause notice on the negative recommendations of the Government of Maharashtra but on another ground i.e. that the lease deed was only for 29 years.

The WRC failed to appreciate that, on 12.03.2007, your appellant had submitted all requisite documents including the copy of registered lease deed number 1659 dated 01.11.2006 for 29 years. the copy of registered lease deed number 450 dated 02.03.2007 for 5 further years.

WHEREAS The appeal of Mirza Ahsanulla Beg Niswan (Girls) Degree College, Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh dated 13/03/2009 is against the Order No. F.NRC/NCTE/F-&/UP/2873/2008 dated 23/01/2009 of the Northern Regional Committee, Refusing recognition for conducting B.Ed course on the grounds “The NRC noted that State Govt. recommendation letter no. 1503/Sattar-6/2008-2(214) 2008 dated 13.06.2008 is negative. The Regional Committee decided that the application for B.Ed. course is hereby rejected. The application of Mirza Ahsanulla Beg Niswan (Girls) Degree College, Anjan Shahid, Azamgarh, UP for the course in B.Ed. is hereby rejected”.

AND WHEREAS the Correspondent, Mirza Ahsanulla Beg Niswan (Girls) Degree College (hereinafter referred to as the appellant), preferred an appeal dated 13/03/2009 to the National Council for Teacher Education, New Delhi (hereinafter referred to as the Council) under Section 18 of the NCTE Act, 1993 against the said Order.

AND WHEREAS Shri Mirza Qamarul Hasan, President, & Shri Ambar Qamarddin, Advisor, Mirza Ahsanulla Beg Niswan (Girls) Degree College, Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh presented the case of the appellant institution on 02-07-09. In the appeal and during personal presentation it was submitted that “No reasonable opportunity was provided to the appellant for making a written representation against shortcomings, before passing of the impugned order. Most importantly, the State Government respondent to the letter of the NCTE dated 01.03.2008 by the letter dated 16.09.2008, making a negative recommendation much beyond the prescribed period of 60. Except for the said recommendation there was no other impediment in allowing the application of the appellant. Recommendation of the State Government cannot be the reason for rejection of the application because NCTE is a statutory body formed to regulate and properly maintain norms and standards in the teacher education system throughout the country. As if the same was the case there was no need to issue a letter of intent and later on proceed with the inspection of the premises. The object of enacting the NCTE Act was to do away with executive interference but if the same was to remain present in some form or the other, then the object stands defeated. The crucial points are fulfillment of the specified norms and standards, which cannot be diluted. The appellant fulfills all of them. The appellants have belatedly been supplied a copy of the letter stating reasons for the negative recommendation to be non-availability of dual faculties, that itself is not a valid objection of the State Government as it is a matter of record that various other colleges have been recognised

although they too do not have a dual faculty but the State Government did not object, to name few; (1) Udaseencharya Degree College, Jaura, Badshahpur, Jaunpur”

AND WHEREAS The Council noted from the U.P. Govt. G.O. dt. 11-02-05 that institutions offering undergraduate courses atleast in any two disciplines of Science/Arts/Commerce were only eligible to conduct teacher training programmes and the same Govt.. vide its G.O. dt. 01-06-09 had withdrawn its earlier G.O. The Council also noted that an application for recognition of teacher education course has to be considered in accordance with the provisions in the NCTE Act and Regulations and that there was no such condition in the NCTE Act/Regulations that an applicant institution should have been running two degree courses. The Council was therefore of the view that the refusal of recognition to the institution on said ground was not justified. The Council, therefore, came to a conclusion that there was enough justification for accepting the appeal and remanding back the case to NRC to consider the case on merit and there-after passing appropriate orders.

AND WHEREAS After perusal of documents, memorandum of appeal, affidavit, VT Report, and after hearing oral arguments advanced during the hearing, the Council reached the conclusion that the institution’s case may be remanded back to NRC for consideration on merit Accordingly, the case was remanded back to the NRC for examination of the case on merit and thereafter, to issue orders by 31st July’09.

NOW THEREFORE, the Council hereby remands back the case of Mirza Ahsanulla Beg Niswan (Girls) Degree College, Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh to the NRC, NCTE, for necessary action as indicated above.

Respondent also has not followed the required mandatory procedure as contemplated U/s 14(3) (proviso) of the Act as no reasonable opportunity in specific is given to the petitioner by the respondent prior to passing the order of the refusal of recognition. The petitioner institution has made ready the entire infrastructure required for the D.Ed. course as the proposal of the petitioner was under the positive consideration of the WRC and even inspection was also carried and nothing short is found but still then proposal is turned down. It is very well observed in Para No. 68 of the judgment by the

Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of State of Maharashtra V/s Sant Dnyaneshwar Shiksha Shashtra Mahavidyalaya reported in 2006 (4) SCC Page No. 1, that merely on the basis of the recommendation of the State Government it would not be valid as well as proper to refuse the recognition but in instant matter it is made. As per the directives issued by this are also not followed properly by the respondent though it is one of the directive that in case of non-justifiable reason behind negative recommendation the WRC can consider the case on its own merits, however it does not appear from the impugned order that the respondent has seen made any attempt to verify the justification of the causes behind refusal given by the State of Maharashtra”.

WHEREAS the appeal of Bharathy Teacher Training Institute, Villupuram Dist., Tamilnadu dated 08/03/2009 is against the Order No. F.SRO/NCTE/2008-2009/2009/8270 dated 05/01/2009 of the Southern Regional Committee, withdrawing recognition for conducting D.T.Ed course on the grounds “(1) As per the regulations dated 10.12.2007 the total built up area should be 1000 sq.mt, the total built up area available is 7409 sq.ft. which is only 696 sq.mt. which is less than the prescribed area as per NCTE norms. (2) As per para 8(10) of regulations dated 10.12.2007, no temporary structure/asbestos roofing shall be allowed. Whereas, the institution has asbestos roof sheets for housing the institution. (3) As per Regulations, norms and standards published in the Gazette notification with effect from 10.12.2007 para 8(13) reads as follows. "Whenever there are changes in the norms and standards for the course of training in teacher education, the institution shall comply with the requirements laid down in the revised norms and standards immediately but not later than the date of commencement of the next academic session, subject to conditions prescribed in the revised norms".

AND WHEREAS the Correspondent, Bharathy Teacher Training Institute (hereinafter referred to as the appellant), preferred an appeal dated 20/03/2009 to the National Council for Teacher Education, New Delhi (hereinafter referred to as the Council) under Section 18 of the NCTE Act, 1993 against the said Order.

AND WHEREAS R. Vivekanandhan, Representative & R. Arulomonclan, Trustee, Bharathy Teacher Training Institute, Villupuram Dist., Tamilnadu presented the case of the appellant institution on 02-07-09 . In the appeal and during personal presentation it was submitted “The appellant institute is already having more than 10000 sq.ft. of built up area which is suitable as well as more than enough for conducting Diploma Level Teacher Education Programme as per the NCTE norms in the year 2006 and 2007. Since the same was amended by Regulations dated 27.11.2007, which came into force on 10.12.2007, the total built up area was fixed 1000 sq.mt. The appellant Management had taken all necessary steps to have the built up area more than 1000 sq.mt. and which fact has not even verified by the Regional Committee before invoking Section 17 and no inspection has been made in this regard. Hence this reason adduced in the impugned order is totally unjustifiable and unsustainable. The appellant institution is having the pucca permanent structure in the permanent locality belonging to the Management. There was absolutely no scope to have any temporary structure. According to 2006 norms, there is no specific restriction as regards

the type of building to say that it must be RCC Roofing or asbestos roofing. Many number of institution in the State of Tamil Nadu which were recognised by the Regional Committee during the academic year 2006-07 or prior to that are having Asbestos Roof building since there were no specific restrictions in the said regulation 2006 that there should not be any asbestos roofing. The very invoking of Section 17 in the case of the appellant without having the inspection through the visiting team of the respondent is totally unlawful and cannot be sustained in the eye of law. The total built up area as well as the nature of building has been suitably modified as per the 2007 Regulations and the reasons cited in the impugned Order of the respondent based on the allegation made by the State Directorate in their letter dated 20.06.2008 are totally false one because one of the reasons alleged in the State Directorate proceedings is that the appellant did not even appoint the teaching staff. The fact remains that the teaching staff were duly appointed and the Dist Level office had verified the staff members and forwarded the same as early as on 20.06.2007 itself. in this regards, a direction was also issued by the High Court, Madras in the earlier round of litigation”.

AND WHEREAS the Council observed that the appellant’s institution was granted recognition for D.T.Ed course on 27-03-07, after causing two inspections; DTERT, the affiliating body conducted the inspection of the institution and reported certain deficiencies found in the institutions vide its letter dt. 20-06-08 to SRC, Bangalore; SRC Bangalore upon consideration of this report issued show cause notice on 24-10-08 and a sequel to this it had withdrawn recognition vide its order dated 05-01-09. The committee noted that village Panchayat office on 29-12-08 issued a completion certificate stating that the appellant’s trust constructed ACC shed around 12,228 sq. ft. and then converted into RCC roof in all respects to run D.T.Ed course. the Council also noted that normally a final decision regarding withdrawal of recognition of an institution is taken after an inspection of the institution is conducted by the NCTE and in the present case no inspection of the institution was conducted before withdrawing recognition u/s 17 of the NCTE Act. the Council also noted that institution had claimed that it upgraded the facilities to conform to the provisions in the new regulations. Therefore, the Council, was of the view that the case should be remanded back to the SRC, for getting an inspection of the institution to verify the position, on payment of requisite fee by the institution.

AND WHEREAS after perusal of documents, memorandum of appeal, affidavit and after hearing oral arguments advanced during the hearing, the Council reached the conclusion that the institution, on payment of requisite fee, should be got inspected to ascertain availability of necessary infrastructure, instructional and other facilities in accordance with the revised norms prescribed by the NCTE. Accordingly, the Council set aside the withdrawal of affiliation order dated 5-01-09 of the SRC and remanded back the case for inspection of the Institution immediately and thereafter, to issue order accordingly.

NOW THEREFORE, the Council hereby remands back the case of

Bharathy Teacher Training Institute, Villupuram Dist., Tamilnadu to the SRC, NCTE, for necessary action as indicated above.

As per above decision taken by WRC, the proposal of said institution is to be treated as closed, the FDRs towards Endowment Fund and Reserve Fund (in original) are returned herewith”.

AND WHEREAS the Correspondent, Adarsh Bahuuddeshiya Sevabhavi Sanstha's kai Vatchalabai Patil Mahila D.Ed. College (hereinafter referred to as the appellant), preferred an appeal dated 30/04/2009 to the National Council for Teacher Education, New Delhi (hereinafter referred to as the Council) under Section 18 of the NCTE Act, 1993 against the said Order.

AND WHEREAS Shri Arun Srivastava, Adarsh Bahuuddeshiya Sevabhavi Sanstha's kai Vatchalabai Patil Mahila D.Ed. College, latur Dist. , Maharashtra presented the case of the appellant institution on 02-07-09 . In the appeal and during personal presentation it was submitted that “It is very well observed in Para No. 68 of the Judgement by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of State of Maharashtra V/s Sant Dnyaneshwar Shikshan Sanstha Mahavidyalaya reported in 2006 (4) SCC page No. 1 that merely on the basis of the recommendation of the State Government it would not be valid as well as proper to refuse the recognition but in instant matter it is made. Nowhere it is clarified till this moment that what are the different grounds on which the State of Maharashtra has given its negative recommendation and so naturally it reveals that the respondent has failed to assess the reasonability as well as validity and sufficiency of the reasons if any such specific finding and the observations on the record it appears that the impugned order is erroneous. As per the directives issued by this are also not followed properly by the respondent though it is one of the directive that in case of non-justifiable reason behind negative recommendation the WRC can consider the case on its own merits, however it does not appear from the impugned order that the respondent has made any attempt to verify the justification of the causes behind refusal given by the State of

Maharashtra. As the rest of aspects of the matter pertaining to the requirement and availability of all the infrastructure and fundamental things are neither disputed nor there is any whisper about the same in any way in the impugned order and so no documents about these aspects are necessary and so those are not produced however if this Hon'ble Council please to direct the production of the same then the appellant will positively produce the same immediately”.

AND WHEREAS the Council noted that on the recommendation of some of the State Government including the Sate Govt. of Maharashtra not to further recognize/permit institutions for conducting B.Ed./D.Ed. course, a public notice was issued by the NCTE on 2-10-08 through the newspapers to the affect that application for D.Ed. course for the academic session 2009-10 from the State of Maharashtra would not be considered and all such applications shall be returned to the institution alongwith the processing fees and documents. the Council also noted that the said step taken by the NCTE was a temporary measure for regulating the growth of teacher training institutions pending state-wise assessment of the manpower requirement of teachers in the country. Accordingly, NCTE Hqrs. had vide its letters dated 1-10-2008 and 31-10-2008 directed all the Regional Directors of NCTE not to recognize/permit the institutions for conducting the specific teacher training course as specified in the public notice issued by NCTE and to return all those applications which were received prior to issuance of public notice dated 2nd Oct, 2008. In view of this, the Council came to the conclusion that WRC was right in refusing the recognition to the institution for conducting D.Ed course by closing the file of the institution”.
