JUDGMENT SURINDER SINGH, J. 1. BY means of present petition, the petitioner-Institute prays for the following reliefs: Whether the reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the Judgment? "(i) That the impugned letter contained in Annexure P-4 dated 15.9.2012 may kindly be quashed and set aside and further be directed to complete the process of affiliation of additional Units in accordance with the rules and procedure existing as on 28.1.2012 on which date the process was started but not completed. (ii) That the respondents be directed that the fresh guidelines contained in Annexure P-4 may not be made applicable to the case of the petitioner as it is applicable only for new ITI." 2. ON 6.5.2013, this Court passed the following order : "Mr. R.K. Sharma, learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner, submits that in sequel to order, dated 15th January, 2013, inspection was carried out and the report has been prepared by respondent No. 3, which is required to be sent to respondents No. 1 and 2. Consequently, respondents No. 1 and 2 are directed to take a formal decision within a period of four weeks after receipt of the report and place it on record by way of affidavit." In reference to the aforesaid order, the petitioner-Institute filed an application (CMP No. 4097/2013) under Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure for the interim directions precisely, on the ground that vide Annexure P-10, some of the similar situated institutes were granted affiliation without processing the matter through Quality Council of India (QCI). 3. ACCORDING to Shri Sandeep Sharma, learned Assistant Advocate General, vide letter dated 6th August, 2012 (Annexure P-4) read with clarification dated 22nd August, 2012 (Annexure R-7) before granting affiliation by the NCVT, the matter is required to be processed through QCI. 4. THE learned Counsel for the petitioner has shown receipt of the letter acknowledged on 21st May, 2013 addressed to the Principal of the petitioner-Institute. Thus, it being so, respondents No. 1 and 2 are hereby directed to consider the case of the petitioner under the old Rules within 6 weeks from today, without insisting to get processed this case through QCI, in case the similarly situated institutions have been granted affiliation in December, 2012, the reference whereof is in Annexure P-10. 5. Thus, it being so, respondents No. 1 and 2 are hereby directed to consider the case of the petitioner under the old Rules within 6 weeks from today, without insisting to get processed this case through QCI, in case the similarly situated institutions have been granted affiliation in December, 2012, the reference whereof is in Annexure P-10. 5. WITH these directions, the petition stands disposed of, so also the pending application(s), if any.
