Zakir Hussain Prim.Tech.Edun.Col.& ... vs State Of Bihar & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals arising from the Patna High Court's judgment regarding the recognition of Dr. Zakir Hussain Primary Teachers Training College under the National Council for Teacher Education Act, 1995. The Court held that the delay in filing the writ petition by the students, which was filed nearly 20 years after the examination, constituted laches, thus affirming the High Court's dismissal of the petition. The Court emphasized that recognition must comply with statutory provisions, and the prior recognition was invalid due to non-compliance with the Act.
