However, his result has not been declared till date. It is averred that the petitioner and his co-students Were allowed to appeal- at the examination by the order dated April 12, 1999 passed in special Civil Application No. 2571 of 1999 by this Court (Coram: D.

(National Council for Teacher Education) and the said petition was withdrawn on october 16, 2000 (Coram: P. K. Sarkar, J) after the N. C. T. E. granted recognition to the dped course of the college for subsequent years. However, the result of the petitioner and his co-students was not declared. The co-students of the petitioner thereafter preferred Special Civil Application Nos. 4934 of 2001, 7068 of 2001 and 6803 of 2001 for declaration of their result and their results were directed to be declared by this Court vide orders dated July 25, 2001 (Coram: P.

( 3 ) I have considered the submissions advanced by Mr. K. R. Pujara, learned advocate for the petitioner and Mr. Premal Joshi, learned AGP for the respondents. I have perused the averments made in the petition as well as the documents and orders passed by this Court in various petitions annexed therewith. ( 4 ) IT may be appreciated that one Special Civil Application No. 4934 of 2001 was moved by Patel Mukeshkumar Ramabhai, wherein, similar relief was prayed for. This court (Coram: Prakip Kumar Sarkar, J) vide order dated July 25, 2001 has observed that:"it is true that unless the N. C. T. E. approves or affiliates the College or institution, it is not permissible to issue any certificate by University or State to grant any Degree or Diploma, but in any event, the Private Institute can run its own institution and conduct examination and, if necessary, issue certificates to the successful candidates. Since the petitioners are awaiting for the results since 1999,1 am of the view that even though the N. C. T. E. had not given approval to the Institute for the academic year 1998-99, the result of the petitioners should be declared. Accordingly, the respondents are directed to declare the results of the petitioners within two weeks from today. " ( 5 ) TWO other students have also filed two separate Special Civil Application Nos. 7068 of 2001 and 6803 of 2001 for similar relief. This Court (Coram: R. M. Doshit, J), vide two separate orders, recorded on September 25, 2001 and September 27, 2001 respectively, followed the order recorded by this Court in Special Civil Application No. 4934 of 2001 and, accordingly respondent was directed to declare the result within two weeks from the date of recording of the order and accordingly both the petitions came to be disposed of. ( 6 ) IN view of the aforesaid state of affairs, when this Court in three separate petitions while recording the order directed the respondents to declare the result of the petitioners, there is no reason why different treatment should be given to the present petitioner and, therefore, present petition deserves to be allowed by directing the respondents to declare the result of the petitioner. ( 7 ) FOR the foregoing reasons, petition succeeds and accordingly it is allowed.
