J.Chelladurai vs Madurai Kamaraj University on 1 October, 2007
In this context, learned counsel
relied upon the judgment of this Court reported in 1996 (1) M.L.J. 17 [Arumugam
Pillai Seethai Ammal College v. The Registrar, Madurai Kamaraj University].
The said judgment arose out of the context where the University has powers to
appoint an enquiry committee to go into the collection of capitation fee
received by a private Management. In that context, the Court held that the
Tmail Nadu Educational Institutions (Prohibition of Collection of Capitation
Fee) Act is a separate code in which University has not been given any role to
appoint an Enquiry Committee. Therefore, that case has no relevance to the
facts of the present case. The present case relates to the petitioner
Management violating the conditions of affiliation as its staff were responsible
for leaking out the question papers and the credibility of the University was in
question.
