Krishnasamy Reddiar Educational Trust vs Member Secy., National Council For ...

The Supreme Court upheld the orders of the High Court of Madras regarding the recognition of teacher training institutions under Section 14 of the National Council for Teachers Education Act, 1993. The Court clarified that applications for recognition must be complete and submitted by the cut-off date of December 31, as per the NCTE Regulations, and that late submissions, such as the No Objection Certificate (NOC) in this case, do not qualify for the current academic year. Consequently, the Court affirmed the decision to grant recognition only from the academic session 2005-06, thereby dismissing the appeals of the appellants.
