THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR
ADMISSION ON 04.06.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY
DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
WP(C) No.10527/2021
:9 :
JUDGMENT
~~~~~~~~~
Dated this the 4th day of June, 2021
The petitioners, who are students of Vidhyadhiraja
Homoeopathic Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram, have
filed this writ petition seeking to direct the 1st respondent to
issue formal Letter of Permission (LoP) to the 4 th respondent-
College for the academic year 2016-2017 and take steps to
regularise the students admitted in the academic year
2016-2017 by considering Exts.P14 and P17 and pass
appropriate orders. The petitioners have also sought certain
other consequential and incidental reliefs.
2. The 4th respondent-College admitted 50 students
for BHMS in the academic year 2016-2017 on the basis of an
interim order passed by this court in W.P.(C) No.35766/2016.
The petitioners, who were admitted to the College pursuant to
the said interim order, are undergoing their studies. The writ
WP(C) No.10527/2021
petition was finally disposed of by Ext.P14 judgment dated
08.12.2020, permitting the students to continue their studies.
3. The respondents have not so far taken a decision
on regularisation of admission of the students and the
petitioners have not been granted permanent registration. The
University is not regularising the admission on the ground that
Letter of Permission is not granted by the 1 st respondent. The
University has addressed Ext.P16 letter to the 1 st respondent
in this regard. The Principal of the College submitted Ext.P17
representation seeking grant of LoP. But, the 1 st respondent
has not taken a decision so far. It is under such circumstance
that the petitioners are before this Court.
4. Heard Sri. P.M. Saneer, the learned counsel for the
petitioner, Sri. P. Vijayakumar, the learned ASGI representing
the 1st respondent-Union of India, Sri. P. Sreekumar, the
learned Standing Counsel for respondents 2 and 3 and
Sri. P.M. Rafeeq, the learned counsel appearing for the 4 th
respondent- Manager / Principal.
WP(C) No.10527/2021
5. From the pleadings and arguments, it is evident
that the petitioners were admitted to BHMS Course in the
academic year 2016-2017 pursuant to the interim orders of
this Court. Subsequently, the petitioners were permitted to
appear in examinations as per orders of this Court. By
Ext.P14 judgment, this Court has held that the students are at
liberty to pursue their education in accordance with law.
However, the University is not recognising the students for the
reason that a LoP has not been issued by the 1 st respondent.
6. The 4th respondent has submitted Ext.P17
representation to the 1st respondent in this regard. As the
future of a large number of students admitted to BHMS
Course in the year 2016-2017 is at stake, the 1 st respondent is
bound to consider Ext.P17 representation expeditiously
without any further delay.
In the facts and circumstances of the case, the writ
petition is disposed of directing the 1 st respondent to consider
WP(C) No.10527/2021
Ext.P17 representation submitted by the 4 th respondent in the
light of Exts.P14 to P16 documents, as expeditiously as
possible, at any rate within a period of two months.
