2. It is the case of petitioners that they applied for two units of B.Ed. course on 27th May, 2015. Vide Minutes of Meeting dated 29- 30th April, 2016 and 1st – 2nd May, 2016, the respondent no. 2 granted recognition for only one unit.

He contends that the inaction of the respondent No. 2 with regard to the second unit is arbitrary and unjustified.
