ORAL ORDER
1. The present petition has been filed by the petitioners’ institutions, running courses relating to nursing. The petitioners have sought for issuance of writ in the nature of mandamus or an appropriate order directing the second respondent i.e., the Karnataka State Diploma in Nursing Examination Board (for short, ‘KSDNEB’), Bengaluru, to forward the feasibility/inspection reports prepared pursuant to the inspection conducted and such reports to be forwarded to the first respondent - State for further action.
2. The petitioners have sought for further direction that, upon receipt of the inspection reports, the first respondent be directed to consider and dispose of the
HC-KAR
applications seeking change of address/premises and to consider passing orders regarding fresh affiliation after taking note of the inspection/feasibility reports.
3. The learned counsel appearing for the second respondent submits that after conducting inspection, reports have been sent to the first respondent for all of the petitioners’ institutions. A copy of the communication is filed to evidence the same.
4. Learned Government Advocate submits that, in light of the inspection reports having been received by the first respondent, necessary action would be taken and suitable orders passed on such inspection reports after taking note of the plea of the petitioners within a period not later than one month from the date of receipt of certified copy of the order.
5. In light of such stand taken by the learned Government Advocate, the writ petition is disposed of by recording the stand of the first respondent to pass
HC-KAR
appropriate orders as regards the plea of the petitioners, based on the inspection reports sent by the second respondent as regards the petitioners' institutions.
6. The first respondent is at liberty to call upon the petitioners for clarification, etc., to enable proper and effective disposal of their request. Sd/- (S SUNIL DUTT YADAV) JUDGE SKS
