(iii)That further it is prayed that the petitioner institution be included in the admission process for the year 2024-25 onwards and its seats be filled”.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in pursuance of the directions issued by this court on 30.08.2024, the petitioner institute was inspected by respondent No.5 wherein certain infirmities were pointed out. Learned counsel further submits that the shortcomings so pointed out have rectified/corrected by the petitioner. He, therefore, prays that the respondent No.5 may be directed to re-inspect the petitioner’s institute and if the same is found in order, necessary orders for affiliation of the petitioner institute may be passed in accordance with law.

Learned counsel for the respondents is not in a position to refute the submission made by learned counsel for the petitioner. However, learned counsel for the respondents submits that liberty may be granted to the respondents to issue appropriate orders after inspecting the institute of the petitioner in accordance with law.

Considering the submissions made before this court, the present writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent No.5 for re-inspecting the petitioner institute and pass appropriate orders.

Needless to say that if the petitioner institute is found meeting all the criteria for affiliation then necessary orders for affiliation of the petitioner institute may be passed, in accordance with the rules. If the petitioner institute is found to be lacking in requisite facilities then orders may be passed for not affiliating the petitioner institute in accordance with law”.
