P.C.SASIDHARAN SRI.S.KRISHNAMOORTHY, CGC SHRI.THOMAS ABRAHAM, SC, UNIVERSITY OF KERALA SRI.SURIN GEORGE IPE ``` ``` THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10.01.2023, ALONG WITH WP(C).28024/2022 AND CONNECTED CASES, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ``` WPC 28024/22 & conn. 19 ## **`JUDGMENT`** These Writ Petitions have been filed by either students or teachers, in support of conduct of Distance Education Programs by the various Universities in Kerala. 2. I do not propose to write a long judgment in these cases because, by the efflux of time, admissions have been closed by 15.11.2022; and this is affirmed by all learned counsel. 3. That said, by an order dated 02.09.2022, certain directions were issued with respect to the inspection to be conducted by the University Grants Commission (UGC) on the various colleges in question. Subsequently, this Court had issued an order dated 29.09.2022, which is extracted as under: Since Sri.S.Krishnamoorthy – learned Standing Counsel for the University Grants Commission (UGC), submits that his client has already granted approval to seven courses as below to the Sree Narayanaguru Open university ('Open University', for short), prima facie, the other Universities can only be allowed to conduct courses other than them. 2. Of course, the question whether the other Universities in Kerala can conduct those courses for which the Open University has been granted approval by the UGC can be decided only after a detailed hearing of these writ petitions. WPC 28024/22 & conn. 20 3. As matters now stand, however, as I have said above, only those courses to which the UGC has not granted approval to the Open University can the other Universities stake claim. The said courses are as under: i. Bachelor of Arts(Combination of 3 subjects)(Sanskrit) ii. Bachelor of Arts(Combination of 3 subjects)(Hindi) iii. Bachelor of Arts(Combination of 3 subjects)(Arabic) iv. Bachelor of Arts(Combination of 3 subjects)(Malayalam) v. Bachelor of Arts(Combination of 3 subjects)(English) vi. Master of Arts (Malayalam) Vii. Master of Arts (English) 4. Resultantly, as an interim measure, I permit the other Universities in Kerala to invite applications and begin courses, subject to them having obtained approval for such purpose from the UGC, with respect to the courses other than those which are mentioned above. List this matter for further consideration on 31.10.2022. 4. Since admissions have been now closed and neither the students nor the teachers can obtain any relief for this year, I am of the firm view that nothing remains in these Writ Petitions for consideration on their merits as at present. 5. Of course, this Court is fully cognizant that there is challenge mounted to certain Statutory provisions, which allegedly WPC 28024/22 & conn. 21 grants monopoly to the Sree Narayanaguru Open University. However, as I have already said above, these issues are no longer relevant this year and if the petitioners have any further cause for grievance, they certainly have to approach this Court at the appropriate time. Thus leaving open all contentions to be impelled and pursued by any person in future, I close these Writ Petitions confirming the afore extracted interim order. ``` Sd/- ``` ``` RR ``` ``` DEVAN RAMACHANDRAN JUDGE ``` WPC 28024/22 & conn. 22 ## **`APPENDIX OF WP(C) 28511/2022`** ``` PETITIONER EXHIBITS Exhibit P1TRUE COPY OF THE COMMUNICATION NO.F NO.4- 14/2021 (ODL) (DEB 11) DATED 12/11/2021 BY WHICH 10 PG COURSES AND 10 UG COURSES TO KERALA UNIVERSITY UNDER THE DISTANCE EDUCATION MODE. ``` - `Exhibit P2 TRUE COPY OF THE COMMUNICATION NO.F/404/2021 (ODL) (DEB 11) DATED 08/11/2021 BY WHICH 11 PG COURSES AND 13 UG COURSES TO SANCTION TO THE UNIVERSITY OF CALICUT UNDER DISTANT EDUCATION MODE.` - `Exhibit P3 TRUE COPY OF THE INTERIM ORDER IN WOP(C) NO.21116/2020 DATED 13/8/2020.` - `Exhibit P4 TRUE COPY OF THE CIRCULAR` - `NO.B2/177/2020/H.EDN.
