¶1Heard Shri Prabhakar Awasthi, learned counsel for the petitioners, Shri Rohit Pandey, learned counsel for respondent Nos. 2 & 3 and learned Standing Counsel for State-respondent no.1.

¶2It is contended that the petitioner-institution was granted recognition in 2018 to intake 100 students comprised in two units of 50 students each and the University granted provisional affiliation on 13.07.2020 for a period of two years. The said period has already lapsed in July, 2022.

¶3The grievance of writ petitioners that in pursuance of a resolution of the University, the petitioners have already deposited Rs. 50,000/- as late fees through Demand Draft in July, 2023 and in absence of any action being taken on the part of the University in relation to the extension of affiliation/ provisional affiliation, the students are not being sent to the petitioner-institution through counseling process.

¶4Shri Rohit Pandey, learned counsel for the University submits that there may be some timeline fixed for the counseling process and, though the period lapsed in July, 2022, even late fees has been deposited in July, 2023.

¶5Be as it may, once the University itself has resolved to consider the extension of provisional affiliation after deposit of Rs. 50,000/- as late fees, a decision either way has to be taken.

¶6Without expressing any opinion on the petitioner's right to participate in counseling, the petition is disposed off directing the University authorities to take a decision with regard to the extension of provisional affiliation pursuant to the deposit of late fees by the petitioners on or before 10.12.2023.

¶7Necessary consequences shall follow. Order Date :- 12.10.2023 Anurag/- High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
