particularly a writ of Mandamus directing the respondents to restore the status of the Petitioner enabling the petitioner institution to participate in counselling and admit students for the B.Ed course for Academic Year 2025- 2026.…”

¶18

In the present case, respondent No. 2 issued a show cause notice dated 19.01.2021, to which the petitioner submitted detailed reply dated 05.02.2021 and 20.05.2026. It is the petitioner’s grievance that while passing the impugned withdrawal order dated 29.03.2025, respondent No. 2 took grounds which were not mentioned in the initial show cause notice. 3. Mr. Rupal, learned counsel for the respondents, submits that as per the impugned order dated 29.03.2025, the petitioner is still deficient on various grounds and till the time the deficiencies are not rectified, the petitioner cannot be allowed to function as a recognized institution. 4. Having considered the submissions of the parties, I am of the view that, in the peculiar facts and circumstances of the present case, the controversy can be appropriately resolved by directing respondent No. 2/Northern Regional Committee ( “NRC” ) to reconsider the petitioner's case after taking into account the reply dated 05.02.2021and thereafter pass a fresh, reasoned order in accordance with law.

¶19

Since a fresh decision has been directed to be taken, the impugned withdrawal order dated 29.03.2025 and order of the appellate committee dated 09.07.2025 cannot be permitted to survive and is accordingly set aside, with all consequential benefits flowing in favour of the petitioner. This order is being passed in the peculiar facts of the present case without examining the merits of the rival contentions and only to ensure that the controversy is resolved expeditiously, particularly as the admission process

is presently underway.

¶23

In view of the aforesaid and as an interim arrangement pending fresh consideration by respondent No. 2, the petitioner shall continue to be treated as a recognised institution. Respondent No. 2 shall accordingly issue a restoration order in favour of the petitioner in respect of the B.Ed. course with an intake capacity of 50 seats, reflect the petitioner's status as a duly recognised institution on its official website, and communicate the same to the concerned State Authorities as well as the affiliating body. The aforesaid exercise shall be completed within a period of three days from the date of uploading of the order.

¶24

In light of the above, the present petition stands disposed of.
