REPRESENTED BY ITS PRINCIPAL ... RESPONDENTS

(BY SRI T S VENKATESH, ADVOCATE FOR R1)

THESE WRIT PETITIONS ARE FILED UNDER ARTICLES 226 AND 227 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA PRAYING TO DIRECT THE R-1 TO ADMIT THE PETITIONERS TO THIRD, FIFTH AND SEVENTH SEMESTERS UNDER THE 2010 SCHEME AND DIRECT THE R-3 TO ALLOW THE PETITIONERS TO FILE THE EXAMINATION APPLICATIONS AND ALLOW THEM TO TAKE UP THE PRACTICAL AND INTERNAL EXAMINATIONS OF THIRD, FIFTH AND SEVENTH SEMESTERS UNDER THE 2010 SCHEME, ETC.

THESE WRIT PETITIONS, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, THE COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING:

34

O R D E R

112 students claiming to be studying at different

colleges (respondent Nos. 2 to 33) have made the following prayers:

(i) Issue a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the

1st respondent to admit the petitioners to third, fifth

and seventh semesters under the 2010 scheme, in

the interest of justice and equity.

(ii) Issue a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the

3rd respondent to allow the petitioners to file the

examination applications and allow them to take up

the practical and internal examinations of third, fifth

and seventh semesters under the 2010 scheme, in

the interest of justice and equity.

(iii) Issue a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the

1st respondent to compensate the petitioners who

have undergone the mental agony, mental

depression, stress, etc. by introducing non-scientific

method of 2014-15 scheme as an experimental basis

35

on the petitioners and made them as the scapegoat

for all the pros and consequences, in the interest of

justice and equity.

(iv) Issue a writ in the nature of mandamus to the 1st

respondent to relax the eligibility criteria of

admission to the third, fifth and seventh semesters

by relaxing the existing restriction to the petitioners

and allow them to admit for the third, fifth and

seventh semesters, in the interest of justice and

equity.

(v) Grant any other writ or direction which this

Hon’ble Court deems fit to grant under the facts

and circumstances of the case in favour of the

petitioners along with the cost of this petition, in the

ends of justice and equity.”

2. The prayer (i) is not grantable in the absence of the

petitioners’ vested right to go to the third, fifth and seventh

semesters under 2010 Scheme. Prayer No.(ii) is for permission to

36

take up the examination. It is also not accedable as appearing for

the examination could be only after securing the admission and

obtaining the requisite attendance.

3. The third prayer is for the payment of compensation on

the ground that the petitioners have undergone mental agony,

mental depression, stress, etc. If a student fails in the examination

and consequently suffers from mental agony, it does not mean that

the examining body has to give him the damages. The question of

giving the damages would arise only if the examining body has

acted arbitrarily or with malafides. And in any case, for seeking the

damages the petitioners have to approach the civil court. At this

juncture, Sri S.V.Narasimhan, learned counsel for the petitioners

submits that he is not pressing prayer (iii).

4. Prayer No.(iv) is for a direction to relax the eligibility

criteria for admission to the third, fifth and seventh Semesters. In

academic matters, the Court would not substitute its wisdom for

the wisdom of the academicians, educationalists and experts. In

37

this regard, it is profitable to refer to the Apex Court’s judgment in

the case of ALL INDIA COUNCIL FOR TECHNICAL

EDUCATION vs. SURINDER KUMAR DHAWAN AND

OTHERS reported in AIR 2009 SC 2322. The relevant portions

of the said decision are extracted hereinbelow:

“12. ………. The courts are neither equipped nor have

the academic or technical background to substitute themselves in

place of statutory professional technical bodies and take decisions

in academic matters involving standards and quality of technical

education. If the courts start entertaining petitions from

individual institutions or students to permit courses of their choice,

either for their convenience or to alleviate hardship or to provide

better opportunities, or because they think that one course is equal

to another, without realizing the repercussions on the field of

technical education in general, it will lead to chaos in education

and deterioration in standards of education.

13. ………. The role of education and role of courts are

well defined by a simple rule. If it is a question of educational

policy or an issue involving academic matters, the courts keep

their hands off.”

38

5. In view of the Apex Court judgment to which the

reference is made hereinabove, I am not persuaded to direct the

first respondent University to relax the eligibility criteria for

admission.

6. Sri T.Venkatesh, learned counsel appearing for the first

respondent University submits that no individual particulars of the

petitioners are forthcoming in the writ petitions; which petitioner is

in which semester and at which college are not mentioned. No

supporting documents whatsoever are produced. He submits that

some of the students are not even admitted to any semester. That

is why they are come out with prayer No.(i) for a direction to admit

them.

7. The prayers extracted hereinabove are not accedable. I also

find substance in the submission of Sri Venkatesh that the

individual particulars of the petitioners are not averred in the writ

petitions.

39

8. But all this does not mean that no relief can be given to the

petitioners. Relief has to be moulded and granted to the extent

permissible in law. I direct each one of the petitioners to submit

the individual representations to the respondent No.1 University

and ventilate his/her grievances. The representations shall be

forwarded through their respective colleges. To save the time, the

petitioners shall also send the advance copies of their

representations to the first respondent University. The petitioners

shall do the same forthwith.

9. The first respondent University shall consider the same in

accordance with its Regulations and the relaxations shown to any

similarly placed students and pass the orders on their

representations within five days from the date of their receipt

provided they are filed within three days from today. These time-

lines are prescribed, as it is submitted at the Bar that the practical

examination of the B.E. Course is commencing on 20th instant.

40

10. These petitions are accordingly disposed of. No order as

to costs.
