CORAM :THE CHIEF JUSTICE DHIRAJ SINGH THAKUR SRI JUSTICE RAVI CHEEMALAPATI : 4‘^ August, 2025 DATE PC : The present batch of writ appeals has been preferred against a common judgment and order, dated 01.10.2024, passed in W.P.No.18251 of 2024 and batch. The petitioners had challenged the order passed by the Regional Director to the extent it had withdrawn the recognition granted in favour of the petitioner educational institutions. 2. r 2 HCJ & RC, J WA 426 2025 & batch By virtue of the judgment and order impugned, the learned single Judge came to a conclusion that proviso to Section 17(1) of the National Council for Teacher Education Act, 1993 had not been followed which 3. mandated that no order of withdrawal against recognised institution be passed unless a reasonable opportunity of making a representation against the proposed order was given to such a recognised institution. The learned single Judge came to a conclusion that no such opportunity had been granted to the petitioners and, therefore, while disposing of the petitions, directed the appellant herein to issue a fresh show cause notice to the institutions calling for their explanation and further permitted the appellant to pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. The present set of appeals have been filed to a limited extent that 4. while disposing of the writ petitions and directing issuance of fresh show cause notices, the learned single Judge had not specifically said anything as to whether the orders of de-recognition passed in individual cases of the writ petitioners had been set aside or not. 5. Considering the limited controversy, we hold that the very factum of directing the issuance of a fresh show cause notice to the petitioners by the learned single Judge would have meant that the order of de-recognition was set aside. However, with a view to put an end to this controversy, we hold that by virtue of the judgment and order impugned, the orders of de-recognition would be deemed to have been set aside. 'T y 3 HCJ & RC, J WA_426_2025 & batch The appellants would therefore proceed to issue fresh show cause notices to the petitioner institutions calling for the explanation and would pass reasoned orders in the case of each of the petitioners - respondent No.1 herein in accordance with law and the directions issued by the learned single Judge. As is prayed by learned counsel for the appellant, it would be open to the appellant to drop the proceedings against the petitioner institutions if it so desires, if there was otherwise compliance with the requirements of the National Council for Teacher Education Act, 1993. No order as to The Writ Appeals are accordingly disposed of. 6. costs. Miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall stand closed.
