ORDER
Amit Rawal, J.
Inter alia alleges that the learned Single
Bench has not taken into consideration the order
of the University that the National Council for
Teachers Education had sanctioned 50 seats for
the B.Ed course including four subjects. In lieu
thereof, the University vide order dated
27.05.2025 granted the affiliation for the
subjects in the following manner;
Sl.No. Optional subjects Sanctioned strength
2. Since the number of students for Arabic
were more, submitted an application for
reallocation of the seats which were granted on
receipt of an extra fees of Rs.15,750/-. However,
there was only one student for Mathematics. One
more student ie, appellant No.2 also opted for
English. Since all 13 English seats were allocated,
request was made to grant reallocation of the seats
for English subject. The respondent herein,
University, rejected the same by Exts.P6, P7 and
P9.
3. Adv.Kavya Varma, learned counsel appearing
on behalf of the appellant/petitioner submitted
that once the University had accepted the extra
fees of Rs.15,750/- for Arabic seats, thereafter
cannot turn around. Vide impugned order Ext.P9
dated 04.11.2024 imposed fine of Rs.15,000/- each
for 4 seats for Arabic and moreover denied the
reallocation for English by accepting the extra
fees as done in the case of Arabic.
4. Learned Government Pleader takes notice for
R1. Adv.P.C Sasidharan, learned Standing Counsel
takes notice for R2 and R3 and seeks time to argue
the matter. Adv.Abraham Meachinkara, learned
Standing Counsel takes notice for R4.
Post on 04.04.2025 for further consideration.
