HC Reinstates 200 DEd Colleges

HC Reinstates 200 DEd Colleges 17 Jan 2009, 0357 hrs IST, TNN NAGPUR: In a respite to the cancelled DEd colleges in Maharashtra, the Nagpur bench of Bombay high court on Friday reinstated 200 colleges. Approval of over 500 had been cancelled by the court. The court, while disposing of the case, had set aside National Council for Teachers Education (NCTE) approval to these colleges during their meetings numbering from 101 to 109, stating that they were not in conformity with directions passed by the central government. However, on Friday, Anand Parchure, counsel of the petitioner, filed an application under ‘Speaking two minutes’ in the court, requesting that NCTE meetings numbering from 101 to 103 were held before the filing of petition and hence 200 colleges sanctioned in these meetings should be restored. Another application was filed by advocate Firdos Mirza on behalf of Hindustani Shikshan Sanstha of Latur, stating that their college was finalised before the meeting and they had secured necessary no-objection certificates from the government itself. Therefore, their college should be reinstated.
