Delhi HCW.P.(C)/4697/2023
Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
The court dismissed writ petitions challenging the National Council for Teacher Education's decision to return applications for new standalone B.Ed. colleges. It held that the restriction enforcing Multi-Disciplinary Institution (MDI) status is a reasonable restriction under Article 19(6). The court ruled that the NCTE, under Section 12(c) and the doctrine of implied powers, has the ancillary authority to return unprocessed applications to effectuate its decision not to process them, ensuring statutory compliance with the NEP 2020.
What did the court decide?
The writ petitions failed and were dismissed. No order as to costs.
