HC flays regulatory committee

Kochi | Friday | 17th January, 2020

Summary:

When the managements challenged this, the court had set aside the committee’s order and referred the issue to the committee for its reconsideration. The managements argued that even after the matter was referred back to the committee and a directive issued to pass fresh orders, the committee did not consider it afresh. While criticising the committee, the bench observed that it had failed to comply with the court order in its proper perspective. There was no application of mind by the committee and it was only making a clerical exercise in the matter. Counsel for the students said they got admission in colleges based on the fee structure fixed by the committee and if there was a considerable increase in the fee structure, it would be to their disadvantage..
