THIS REVIEW PETITION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
04.04.2025, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE
FOLLOWING:
2025:KER:29063
RP No.425/2025 in
WP(C) No.35572/2024

ORDER
Dated this the 4th day of April, 2025
This Review Petition arises from the judgment of this
Court in W.P.(C) No.35572/2024. The writ petition was filed
by the petitioners who belong to 2018 MBBS Batch of
Government Medical College, Kannur.
2. Following the order of the Hon'ble Apex
Court in SLP No.9659/2020, W.P.(C) No.35572/2024 was
disposed of with the following directions:
Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of
directing the 5th respondent to release the
Certificates of the petitioners after obtaining an
undertaking from the petitioners to the effect that if
the claim of the petitioners is not upheld in the
petitions pending before the Hon'ble Apex Court,
they will refund the fees within the period
prescribed by the Court. In the undertaking, the
petitioners shall state that in the event they fail to
deposit the amount as directed by the Court, their
2025:KER:29063
RP No.425/2025 in
Degrees will be liable to be confiscated.
Certificates shall be returned to the petitioners
within a period of one month.
3. I have heard the learned counsel for the
review petitioners and the learned counsel for the writ
petitioners.
4. It is evident from the judgment that this Court
proceeded to pass the final order based on the interim order
dated 03.11.2023 of the Hon'ble Apex Court in I.A. No.220228
of 2023 in SLP(C) Nos.8408-8411 of 2020. Paragraph 6 of
the said interim order would indicate that the Hon'ble Apex
Court intended to grant the relief only insofar as the students
who have not been admitted from NRI or Management Quota
are concerned. Though the interim order of the Hon'ble Apex
Court specified so, such exclusion was not made in the
judgment dated 13.01.2025 in W.P.(C) No.35572/2024. To
2025:KER:29063
RP No.425/2025 in
that extent, I find that there is an error apparent on the face of
the records of the case.
5. The review petitioners would further submit
that in the interim order dated 03.11.2023, the Hon'ble Apex
Court had directed the students to file affidavit / undertaking
before the Hon'ble Apex Court whereas this Court directed the
writ petitioners to file undertaking / affidavit before the
Principal of the College. Unless an affidavit / undertaking is
executed / given before the Hon'ble Apex Court or before this
Court, it will be difficult for the Government to make recovery
in case ultimately the SLP is decided in favour of the
Government.
6. The Additional Advocate General would point
out that the amounts recoverable from each student would run
into lakhs and the total recovery, if warranted, would be of
2025:KER:29063
RP No.425/2025 in
considerable sum. Therefore, it is highly necessary that an
affidavit be executed before the Hon'ble Apex Court or before
this Court.
7. I find that the directions of this Court should
be in tune with the directions given by the Hon'ble Apex Court.
In the circumstances, the last paragraph of the judgment
dated 13.01.2025 in W.P.(C) No.35572/2024 is substituted as
follows:
"Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing
the 5th respondent to release the Certificates of those
petitioners who are not NRI or Management Quota students, if
the petitioners execute an undertaking before this Court to the
effect that if the claim of the petitioners is not upheld in the
petitions pending before the Hon'ble Apex Court, they will
refund the fees within the period prescribed by the Court.
2025:KER:29063
RP No.425/2025 in
Such an undertaking should be given to the Registrar of this
Court. In the undertaking, the petitioners shall state that in the
event they fail to deposit the amount as directed by the Court,
their Degrees will be liable to be confiscated. Certificates shall
be returned to the petitioners within a period of one month."
The Review Petition is disposed of as above.
