Hon’ble Mr. Justice Amitendra Kishore Prasad Order on Board 29/06/2026 1. By way of this petition, the petitioner has prayed for following reliefs:- “10.1 It is prayed that this Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to call for the entire records pertaining to the case of the Petitioner Company from the possession of respondents for its kind perusal. 10.2 That, this Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to issue an appropriate writ quashing and setting aside the impugned order dated 11.02.2026 (Annexure P/I) and further direct the Respondent Authority to charge renewal fee only on basis of number of students and not on the basis of total sanctioned seats for B.Sc. Nursing course and may kindly be pleased to issue an appropriate writ directing the Respondent Authority to issue renewal order for the clinical training permission for the academic session 2025-26. 10.3 Any other relief / reliefs which may deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case, may also be allowed.” 3 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, by way of notice dated 11.02.2026, the Director, Medical Education, Chhattisgarh has raised a demand of Rs. 3,47,600/-, directing the petitioner to deposit the fee corresponding to the total sanctioned intake of seats for the B.Sc. (Nursing) course towards clinical training. It is contended that the said demand is arbitrary and contrary to the applicable norms, as the petitioner is liable to deposit the clinical training fee only in respect of the actual number of students who have undergone clinical training, and not on the basis of the total sanctioned intake of seats. It is, therefore, submitted that the impugned demand has been raised without proper justification and requires reconsideration by the competent authority. 3. At this stage, learned counsel appearing for the State submits that the submissions advanced on behalf of the petitioner would be duly examined and an appropriate reply thereto shall be furnished before the competent authority in accordance with law. 4. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner seeks permission of this Court to withdraw the present petition with liberty to submit a comprehensive representation before the competent respondent authorities, raising all the grievances and grounds available to the petitioner in relation to the impugned demand notice. It is further prayed that, in the event such a representation is submitted, the concerned respondent authorities may be directed to consider and decide the same within a stipulated period in accordance with law. 4 5. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the controversy, this petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to submit a detailed representation before the concerned respondent authorities within a period of 10 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. In the event such a representation is submitted within the aforesaid period, the concerned respondent authorities shall consider and decide the same objectively, by passing a reasoned and speaking order, strictly in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a further period of 60 days from the date of receipt of such representation. 7. With this observation and direction, the writ petition is disposed of. Sd/- (Amitendra Kishore Prasad) Judge Raghu Jat
