"5. Heard learned counsel for the parties as well as perused the record of the case.

6. This Court observes that the petitioners-Colleges filed the application for enhancement of the seats from 50 to 100 pertaining to the Course of question, whereafter the new Policy came to existence; the petitioners filed a representation in pursuance of the order passed by the Hon'ble Court in aforementioned writ petition. Subsequently, the respondents vide impugned order 31.05.2022 rejected the representation of the petitioners for enhancement of the seats of the Course in question. Meanwhile, the respondents issued an advertisement dated 28.11.2022 for admission in the Course in question.

7. This Court further observes that the respondents issued Departmental Procedure/Guidelines/Policy-2022 on 29.09.2022 for enhancement of the seats and issued NOC to the newly established Colleges, wherein it was clearly stated that the State Government, after considering all the parameters from time to time, grants permission for enhancement of the seats, as per

[2023:RJ-JD:27125] (5 of 7) [CW-17514/2022]

requirement, and also the old applications are automatically rejected.

7.1 This Court also observes that the relevant portion of the aforesaid Policy, as reproduced in the reply to SBCWP No.1364/2023, reads as under :-

"jkT; ljdkj n~okjk vko";drk ds vkdyu mijkUr foKfIr tkjh dh tkosxh A vkosnu izfdz;k iw.kZr;k vkWuykbu gksxh rFkk foHkkx n~okjk fdlh Hkh izdkj dks vkWQWykbu vkosnu Lohdk;Z ugha gksxk A laLFkk dks foKfIr mijkUr fof"pr frfFk esa fu/kkZfjr izfdz;k vuq:i vkWuykbu vkosnu djuk vko";d gksxk rFkk fu/kkZfjr frfFk o le; mijkUr izkir vkosnuksa ij dksbZ fopkj ugha fd;k tk;sxk A fufr fuekZ.k ds izHkkoh gksus ds lkFk gh foHkkx esa yfEcr leLr vkosndksa dks uhfr esa fu/kkZfjr izfd;k ds vuqlkj iqu% vkosnu djuk gksxk rFkk iqjkus vkosnu Lor% gh fujLr ekus tk;saxs !

8. This Court further observes that the State Government is the authority to maintain high standards in the field of education in the entire State, to establish or permit establishment of the new institutions or enhance the seats, which shall be governed by the Policy/Policies introduced by the State from time to time, and the concerned institutions shall be bound by the same.

9. This Court therefore, observes that the entire impugned action as taken by the respondents in the present case is justified in the eye of law.

10. Thus, in light of the aforesaid observations and looking into the factual matrix of the present case, this Court does not find it a fit case so as to grant any relief to the petitioners in the present petitions.

11. Consequently, the present petitions are dismissed. All pending applications stand disposed of."

3.1. Mr. Gaur, further submits that a fresh cut off date has

emanated out of the departmental procedure/guidelines/policy of

2022, which has been brought in vogue on 29.09.2022 for the

enhancement of seats and issuance of NOC for the newly

(D.B. SAW/797/2023 has been filed in this matter. Please refer the same for further orders)

[2023:RJ-JD:27125] (6 of 7) [CW-17514/2022]

established colleges, and thus, the new cut off date is 29.09.2022

and the respondents have not granted any NOC to any institutions

after 29.09.2022.

3.2 Mr. Gaur, also submits that few of the institutions were

granted NOC for the Course in question because they have filed

contempt petitions and were having orders of this Hon'ble Court.

3.3 Mr. Gaur, further submits that the trade in question arising

out of the Livestock Assistant Diploma Training Course (Veterinary

Course) has a saturation and any kind of opening of such Course

beyond the expert's advice, in this regard, would not only be

detrimental to the cause of students in question, but would also

create havoc with the Livestock Assistant Diploma Training Course

(Veterinary Course).

3.4 Mr. Gaur, also submits that the peculiarity of the educational

qualification involved, does not permit the State to create any

atmosphere for grant of NOC to the newly established colleges.

3.5 Mr. Gaur, reiterates his own submissions that the State shall

maintain the sanctity of the guidelines of 29.09.2022 to the best

of their ability.

4. After hearing learned counsel for the parties as well as

perusing the record of the case along with the precedent law cited

at the Bar, this Court finds that no fresh institution has been

granted NOC for the Livestock Assistant Diploma Training Course

after 29.09.2022. This Court also finds that such policy is being

strictly adhered to by the respondents. The policy is quoted in the

(D.B. SAW/797/2023 has been filed in this matter. Please refer the same for further orders)

[2023:RJ-JD:27125] (7 of 7) [CW-17514/2022]

judgment passed in the case of Shree Ji Animal Husbandry

(supra), reproduced as above.

5. The present factual matrix, where the delicate balance

between the students and the education is involved as well as the

societal requirement, does not call for any interference by this

Court. A strict adherence to the Departmental

Procedure/Guidelines/Policy-2022 dated 29.09.2022 is warranted.

6. This Court has also kept into consideration the petitions

dismissed in the batch of Sampat Pashudhan Sahayak

Prashikshan Sanstan Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors. : S.B

Civil Writ Petition No.5798/2020 on 08.07.2020 by a

Coordinate Bench of this Hon'ble Court at Jaipur Bench. The order

passed in the case of Shree Ji Animal Husbandry (supra) is

also kept into consideration.

7. In light of the aforesaid observations, no interference is

called for in the present writ petition and the same is accordingly

dismissed. All pending applications stand disposed of.
