KA. SWAMI, J. ( 1 ) THIS writ appeal is preferred against ihe order, dated 6th August, 1991 in Writ petition No. 26362 of 1990. The writ petition has been allowed and a direction has been issued to the State Government to grant permission to shift the petitioner-Institution from Tumkur District to Belgaum District. ( 2 ) PETITIONER in the writ petition is the respondent in this writ appeal. It was running a Physical Education Training College at Tarur in Tumkur District. It sought for permission to shift the said Institution to Harugeri in Belgaum District. The application was not considered by the Stale Government. Therefore, the respondent approached this Court in Writ Petition No. 7614 of 1990. This Court by the order, dated 10th July, 1990 directed the State Government to consider the application of the respondent for shifting the College from Tarur in Tumkur District to Harugeri in belgaum District as expeditiously as possible and not later than one month from the date of the order. Pursuant to the said direction the State Government considered the application and rejected it by an order dated 11-9-1991. Relevant portion of the order reads thus:"shifting of an Institution from one place to another (district to district) constitute establishment of a new Institution at the place of shifting. Further government bad imposed a ban on the establishment of any such Institution till the end of Eighth Five Year Plan period. The order of Hon'ble High Court of karnataka, dated 10-7-1990 directs for consideration of the application made by the petitioner for shifting the college from Tarur to Harugeri. As the contents of the application of the petitioner, dated 4-10-1968 had been considered in the past and rejected, the request of the petitioner for shifting the college from Tarur, Sira taluk, Tumkur District to Harugeri in Raibagh Taluk, Belgaum District is once again examined, considered in pursuance of the order of High Court of karnataka and rejected. " ( 3 ) AGGRIEVED by the aforesaid order, respondent again approac hed this Court in Writ Petition No. 26362 of 1990. The learned Single Judge by the order, dated 6th august, 1991 allowed the writ petition and directed the State Government to grant permission to shift the petitioner-Institution from Tarur in Tumkur District to harugeri in Belgaum District. Pursuantto the said directions the State Government granted permission on 26-9-1991. The learned Single Judge by the order, dated 6th august, 1991 allowed the writ petition and directed the State Government to grant permission to shift the petitioner-Institution from Tarur in Tumkur District to harugeri in Belgaum District. Pursuantto the said directions the State Government granted permission on 26-9-1991. ( 4 ) HOWEVER, the State Government has preferred this writ appeal against the aforesaid order after complying with it on the ground that the learned Single Judge is of the view that without any criteria permission should be granted for shifting the institutions. The learned Single Judge during the course of his order has observed thus:"the petitioner alleges that Government has given permission to other institutions to relocate their colleges. I do not want to say anything about it. Relocation or shifting of a College is permitted by the Grant-in-Aid Code and if the Grant-in-Aid Code does permit shifting of the College from Tumkur District to Belgaum District, I do not see why permission to shift the petitioner-Institution from Tumkur District to Belgaum District should not have been granted. " ( 5 ) THE contention put forth on behalf of the Stale before the learned Single Judge was that shifting of the old college from one place to another would result in starting a new college in the place to which it is shifted. Therefore, all the norms that are required to be complied with for starling a new college shall have to be complied with by the applicant desiring to shift an Institution from one place to another place. This contention was based upon Rule 9 of the Grant-in-Aid Code for Secondary schools in Karnataka State. 5. 1. The college in question is not required to be affiliated to any University because it is regulated by the Department of Education. It imparts training leading to a certificate in Physical Education, therefore, it is governed by the Grant-in-Aid code for Secondary Schools in Karnataka State. There is no specific provision contained in the Code for shifting an educational institution governed by the Code from one place to another place. Rule 9 of the Code occurring in Chapter III relating to "general Conditions for Starting and Recognition of Schools", lays down general conditions for starting Institutions, and those conditions are as follows:"9. General conditions for starting. There is no specific provision contained in the Code for shifting an educational institution governed by the Code from one place to another place. Rule 9 of the Code occurring in Chapter III relating to "general Conditions for Starting and Recognition of Schools", lays down general conditions for starting Institutions, and those conditions are as follows:"9. General conditions for starting. (i) The Institution shall be open to all communities without any distinction of caste, creed or religion.

" ( 6 ) THE point for consideration is whether it is necessary for an applicant seeking permission to shift of an Institution from A place to B place to satisfy at B place all the conditions laid down in Rule 9 of the Code. Urinals and Latrine (for staff) -1 compartment for urinal and for latrine. " ( 6 ) THE point for consideration is whether it is necessary for an applicant seeking permission to shift of an Institution from A place to B place to satisfy at B place all the conditions laid down in Rule 9 of the Code. ( 7 ) THE contention of the learned Government Advocate is that even though the applicant may be shifting an old college from A place to B place, but as far as place b is concerned it will be establishing a new college, and, therefore, all the norms laid down in Rule 9 of the Code have to be complied with. On the contrary, it is contended by Sri Angadi, learned counsel for the respondent that the Government itself has granted such permission in several cases without applying Rule ,9 of the code, therefore, it is not open to contend that in the matter of shifting of an existing institution from A place to B place requirements of Rule 9 are to be complied with. ( 8 ) IT is not possible to accept the contention of Sri Angadi, learned counsel for the respondent. Under what circumstances the Government has accorded permission to others for shifting existing institutions from one place to another place is not known and those circumstances are not placed before us. In the absence of a specific provision contained in the Code for shifting an existing institution to another place, we have no hesitation in holding that shifting of an existing institution from 'a' place to 'b' place would amount to and would result in establishment of a new college or institution at 'b' place, therefore, all the conditions laid down in Rule 9 of the Code arc required to be complied with mutatis mutandis. ( 9 ) IT is not necessary to set aside the order of the learned Single Judge because it is submitted by the learned Government Advocate that the order under challenge has been complied with and the appeal has been filed only to have a decision on the aforesaid question as formulated in para 6 above for future guidance. ( 10 ) THE reasons given by the learned Single Judge as stated above are set aside. ( 10 ) THE reasons given by the learned Single Judge as stated above are set aside. It is held that in the case of shifting an existing institution covered by Grant-in-Aid code for Secondary Schools from one place to another, Rule 9 of the said Code mutatis mutandis is required to be satisfied. ( 11 ) WRIT appeal is disposed of accordingly. ( 12 ) HOWEVER, we make it clear that the decision we have rendered does not enable the Slate Government to recall the order, dated 26-9-1991 passed by it according permission to shift the institution of the respondent from Tarur in Tumkur district to Harugert in Belgaum District, as that is not the purpose for which the appeal is filed. --- *** --- .
