This appeal by special leave is directed against a judgment of the Allahabad High Court quashing a resolution dated May 6, 1986 by which it was proposed to hold an Entrance Test for admission to the Degree Courses in Arts, Science and Commerce of the Allahabad University, while at the same time recording a finding that 'the entrance test for admission to Degree Courses of Arts, Science and Com merce of the University cannot be characterised as arbitrary, illegal orirrational in view of the fact that the standard of students passing Intermediate Examination or equivalent examinations thereto is deteriorating now a days. ' The principal ground on which the High Court struck down the resolution was that there was no emergency to justify the Vice Chancellor having recourse to the provisions of s.13(6) of the Uttar Pradesh State Universities Act for the action taken by him; the legitimate thing to do was to constitute an Admissions Committee as contemplated by section 28 of the Act to consider the matter and to give an opportunity to the Academic Council to approve or disapprove the new policy.
