The Committee took note of the clarifications sent by the NCTE Hqrs. and decided to consider the applications for decisions in view of the clarifications so sent by the NCTE Hqrs.

232.4The Committee perused the agenda note with regard to advice given by Shri Arjun Harkauli, Legal Counsel, High Court of Delhi on the order passed by the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi on 24.11.2014 in the bunch of Writ Petitions i.e. W.P. No. 2889/2013 to W.P. No. 1651/2014. The Committee noted that many more institutions have also obtained similar orders. The institutions on the basis of the orders of the Hon’ble High Court have submitted their applications alongwith documents for consideration by the NRC, which applications were returned to them due to the negative recommendations of the State Govt. of Haryana for B.Ed. and D.El.Ed. courses.

The Committee noted that Hon’ble Court disposed the writ petitions in view of the judgements of the Madhya Pradesh and Punjab & Haryana High Courts as well as order dated 10th September, 2013 passed by Supreme Court in SLP No. 4247-4248/2009, with a direction that the petitioner shall apply afresh in accordance with new regulations if required and the same shall be considered by the NCTE/NRC for the year 2015-16 in accordance with new regulations which are to be notified in compliance with the directions of the Supreme Court.

The Committee also noted that the legal counsel has informed vide his E-mail that the applications of the Writ Petitioners were disposed applications and not pending applications. Hence the benefit of the High Court judgement shall be available to them only after they re-apply under the new regulations.

Hence, the Committee decided that the applications of the institutions be returned to them with the directions that they may apply afresh as per provisions of the NCTE Regulations, 2014 when the applications are invited by the NCTE provided there is no ban imposed by their state government.

232.5The agenda note placed in 231st meeting regarding, processing of applications from the State of Punjab received for D.El.Ed. course for the academic session 2013-2014, which was deferred, was perused by the Committee. The Committee noted that the State Govt. did not convey any recommendation after their letter dt. 27.8.2013 for grant of recognition for D.El.Ed. course. The letter dt. 27.8.2013 conveyed that no recognition be granted by the NCTE to new/more colleges till the submission of report by the Committee so constituted is given. The Committee noted that a letter was written to the State Government again in view of the decision taken by the NRC but no response was received from the State Government. Hence the Committee decided that the applications received for D.El.Ed. course be processed as per Regulations.

232.6Dr. Jagdeep Singh, Additional Director, D/o Higher Education, Government of Punjab pointed out that the Note “Any other stipulation prescribed by the UGC/Affiliating Body/State Government from time to time” has not been given regarding faculty for B.Ed. course in the NCTE Regulations 2014.
