Order
1. On 22.05.2026, in view of assurance given by learned Advocate General, that a final decision regarding the issue of grant of NOCs to the institutions shall be taken by the State Government and the same shall be apprised to this Court on the next date of hearing and while taking note of the submission made by learned Advocate General that neither the counselling process had commenced nor had any notification in that regard been issued, the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court refrained from passing any direction with regard to counseling process at that stage and granted one last opportunity to the State Government for finalization of the issue involved in the present bunch of writ petitions. The matters were accordingly posted on 29.06.2026 for considering due compliance so also the directions contained in the judgment passed by the Division Bench in D.B. Civil Writ Petition No.23307/2025 (Fortune Foundation & Anr. Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors.).
2. Today, learned counsel for the petitioners has produced the Notification dated 11.06.2026 issued by the Rajasthan University of Health Sciences whereby the RUHS CUET-2026 Counselling and Allotment Schedule has been notified, which is taken on record. It is submitted that commencement of the counselling process without first deciding the long-pending applications of the petitioner-institutions for grant of No Objection Certificates on account of which the petitioner-institutions would loose another academic year and the same would amount to defeating the very object of the litigation. It is, therefore, prayed that operation of the said notification be stayed.
3. Per contra, learned Additional Advocate General, Mr. N.S. Rajpurohit on instructions from Mr. Rakesh Kumar Sharma (Director)- Joint Secretary Group-3 who is present in person in the Court today, submitted that the matter is under active consideration of the State Government and appropriate decision shall be taken at the earliest and it will take at least two weeks’time.
4. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record.
5. On 22.05.2026, following order was passed:
“1. Present bunch of writ petitions has been filed seeking issuance of directions to respondent authorities for grant of NOC to the petitioner - institutions for BSc Nursing/GNM courses.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the State Government issued new guidelines for establishment of Nursing Colleges/Schools vide order dated 15.10.2024 and, in pursuance thereof, the petitioner-institution, after establishing the necessary infrastructure and other facilities, submitted their applications for grant of NOCs. The applications of all the petitioner-institutions are lying pending at different stages, for which the present writ petitions have been filed on the ground that, though Clause 10 of the Policy/Guidelines dated 15.10.2024 provides for time-bound disposal of such applications within 90 days, yet the same have not been decided despite lapse of more than one and a half years.
3. In respect of some of the petitioner - institutions, present writ petitions constitute the second round of litigation, as in the earlier round, directions had been issued to respondent department to finalize the process for grant of NOC in a timebound manner. However, the said direction have not been complied with.
4. While taking note of said fact, this Court in S.B. Civil Petition No. 5711/2025 (Vivekanand Vidya Ashram Sansthan Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors.) directed learned counsel for respondents to place on record a compliance report of order dated 14.01.2025, failing which, Principal Secretary, Medical and Health Department was directed to remain present on 25.02.2026.
5. On 25.02.2026, Principal Secretary, Medical and Health Department appeared through video conferencing and informed this Court that, since a large number of applications had been received for grant of NOCs for B.Sc. Nursing / GNM courses,
