The issue relating to payment of penalty/late fee is however kept open. 5. Now it is brought to the notice of this Court that in pursuance of the orders passed by this Court the respondents students of the present petitioners institutions were permitted to take-up examination. 6. The State Government has not filed any objections to defend the impugned action of the respondents 1 and 2. 7.

Admittedly in the present writ petitions, students of the petitioners institutions have paid the fee on 20.04.2018 within the time limit prescribed by the second respondent as per the notification dated 05.04.2018. The last date to pay NEFT challan was 20.04.2018 and fee with fine was foxed on 08.05.2018 for Rs.150/per student per day after the last date. Since the respondents students have paid the fee within the time question of paying penalty would not arise. Therefore, the Annexure ‘D’ issued in W.P.No.202515/2017 and W.P.No.22605/2017 the orders passed by the second respondent directing the Principal of the petitioners dated 19.05.2017 is without any basis and without authority of law.

Per contra the learned Additional Government Advocate appearing for State sought to justify the impugned action of respondents 1 and 2. . 10. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties, the material on record clearly depicts that the petitioners institutions have been recognized by the NEFT for taking D.Ed. course with an intake of 50 students in Hindi Medium and since the official respondents have not approved the admissions for the year 2016-17, the petitioners were forced to file writ petitions before this Court in W.P.No.20888/2017. Inspite of the interim order granted by this Court, the students of the petitioners institutions were not permitted to take examination. Therefore the present petitioners were forced to file writ petitions seeking to direct the official respondents to permit the respondents students to take up all examinations for the academic year 2017-18 without insisting for any payment of penalty. This Court granted interim order and now the students have allowed to takeup the exams within the time scheduled. 11.

In terms of the same the students of the petitioners in W.P.Nos.22194-22244/2018 also paid the fee within the time stipulated. 12. When the recognition of the petitioners institutions is not disputed and the students have paid the fee within the time stipulated in the notification issued by the concerned authorities, the authorities ought to have permitted them, since they have not permitted, the petitioners have approached this court directing the authorities to permit the students of the petitioners institutions to take examination. Except the authorities issuing Annexures ‘C’ and ‘D’ directing to pay the penalty, they have not produced any rules or regulations and the basis to insist penalty. When the students have not violated the last date fixed to pay examination fee, the letters/impugned endorsement issued by the authorities as per Annexure-D is without any basis.
