IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. L.P.A. No.848 of 2009(O&M) Date of decision: 12.11.2009 Anshu Arora. -----Appellant Vs. ICFAI Business School & others. -----Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GURDEV SINGH Present:- Mr. G.K. Chawla, Advocate for the appellant. --- ORDER: 1. This appeal has been preferred against order of learned Single Judge, dismissing the writ petition seeking a direction to allow the appellant to appear in summer term, by quashing the impugned letter dated 7.4.2009, Annexure P-6, of respondent No.3, laying down minimum academic requirement for further academic progress. 2. Case of the appellant is that he took admission to M.B.A. at a school at Gurgaon, respondent No.3, which is said to be a franchise of respondent No.1, which in turn is recognised by Uttrakhand University. The appellant did not fulfill the criteria for LPA No.848 of 2009 further academic progress and was not allowed admission to the summer course to make up the deficiency. 3. Learned Single Judge dismissed the writ petition upholding laying down of minimum standard. 4. We have heard learned counsel for the appellant. 5. Apart from finding no reason to interfere with the view taken by learned Single Judge, on merits, we find that there is no averment in the writ petition as to how the respondents are State. The institute recognised by the University in question is not located in the territorial jurisdiction of this Court and if respondent No.3 school is franchise of respondent No.1, it is not clear how it is State. In Kurmanchal Institute of Degree & Diploma v. Chancellor, M.J.P. Rohilkhand University 2007(6) SCC 35, it was held that even a distance learning programme can operate only in territorial jurisdiction of a University. 6. We, thus, do not find any ground to interfere with the view taken by the learned Single Judge. 7. The appeal is dismissed. (ADARSH KUMAR GOEL) JUDGE November 12, 2009 ( GURDEV SINGH ) ashwani JUDGE 2
