The petitioner Institution is a recognized self-financing college in the field of teacher education, conducting the Diploma in Elementary Education (D.EI.Ed) course with an intake capacity of 50 students. The recognition was originally granted on 11.01.2008 under Section 14 of the National Council of Teacher Education Act, 1993. Subsequently, the same was renewed from time to time and the petitioner Institution has been continuously in compliance with the regulations and statutory norms framed by the National Council of Teacher Education.4. While being so, on 27.06.2025, the second respondent passed a resolution withdrawing the recognition of the petitioner Institution, along with several other colleges, on the ground that the petitioner failed to submit Performance Appraisal Reports for the Academic Years 2021-2022 and 2022-2023. Aggrieved by the said withdrawal of recognition, the petitioner filed a writ petition before this Court in W.P.No.21575 of 2025.
