RAJIV GANDHI COLLEGE OF EDN (D.ED). vs UNION OF INDIA . — SLP(C) No. 28093/2009

Summary of SLP(C) No. 28093/2009 The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petitions filed by D.Ed. colleges challenging the Bombay High Court's 2009 order that quashed recognition/permissions for 29 new D.Ed. colleges in Maharashtra. The Court found the colleges failed to demonstrate compliance with NCTE regulatory requirements (affiliation and adequate academic staff) and upheld the High Court's directions for a demand-supply study. However, the Court clarified that students already admitted under interim orders would not be affected, and colleges may reapply upon meeting statutory conditions.
