Dated this the 20th day of February, 2026
JUDGMENT
Since this writ petition relates to the academic year 2025-
2026, the reliefs claimed for has become infructuous.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that
petitioner has already preferred an application for NOC before the
State Government for the academic year 2026-2027. Though the
counsel for the petitioner asserted that the University be directed to
consider their application for consent of affiliation for the academic
year 2026-2027, I am of the view that the said issue will arise only
after the Government issues orders on the application for NOC.
Petitioner's right to pursue their claim for NOC as well as for
consent of affiliation for the academic year, 2026-2027, in accordance
with law,will not be affected by this writ petition and those will remain
open even if this writ petition has become infructuous.
In view of the above, the Writ Petition is dismissed as
infructuous.
