Dr. Y.C. Sharma, learned counsel cited the judgement of the Supreme Court in Medical Council of India vs. Jaipur National University Institute for Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Jaipur and Anr.-AIR 2018 SC 3114 and the division bench of this Court in University of Rajasthan, Jaipur vs. Shri Krishna Public School Shikshan Sansthan, D.B. Special Appeal (Writ) No.826/2018 dated 19.9.2018, to argue that interim order directing admission in academic course ought not to be passed.

Colleges throughout the State of Rajasthan, therefore, the list enclosed contains 161 names, but the writ petition has been filed for benefit of only those institutions, which are affiliated with the appellant-university for last more than 3 to 5 years. Learned counsel for the respondent has submitted that as per judgement of division bench of this Court in Smt. Jyanki Devi Teacher Training College vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors., D.B.

Learned counsel has referred to clause 13 of the said calendar to point out that the No Objection Certificate is required to be obtained from the State Government only with regard to new colleges, but the renewal for affiliation was required to be done on the basis of No Objection Certificate issued by the State Government earlier, if not withdrawn by the State Government/NCTE. In such cases, no renewal/extension of No Objection Certificate is required to be issued by the State Government. Learned counsel submitted that subsequently by order dated 10.1.2018 passed in D.B. Civil Misc. Application No.592/2017 in the case of Smt. Jyanki Devi vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors., supra, the division bench has categorically observed that the educational institutes should not be unnecessarily harassed on year to year basis for inspection and for extension of their affiliation.;
