HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.5028 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner-college is aggrieved by the action of the respondent-university in demanding a sum of Rs.1,500/- per student towards infrastructure fee. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the question whether the university can raise a demand of Rs.1,500/- per student towards infrastructure fee was the subject matter of consideration in a batch of writ petitions i.e.,W.P.Nos.27195 of 2007, 19318, 26133 of 2008 and 9007 and 26881 of 2009, decided on 08.02.2010, wherein the writ petitions filed by the college were allowed and the following directions were issued: - (i) the writ petitions are allowed, setting aside the demand notices issued to the petitioners, on the ground that they are not based on any statute, ordinance or regulation made under the A.P. Universities Act, 1991; (ii) it shall be open to the University to inquire as to whether the petitioners have collected any amount from the students towards development fee/infrastructure fee, and if it emerges that the fee has been collected, the petitioners shall be under obligation to refund the same to the students, or pay it to the University; and (iii) if any statement made by the petitioners in this regard is found to be incorrect, that would, by itself, be a ground to deny the renewal of affiliation.” Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in the instant case also, the demand is not based on any statute or ordinance or regulation made under A.P. Universities Act, 1991 and hence, the respondent-University cannot demand Rs.1,500/- per student towards infrastructure fee. After going through the judgment rendered by this Court in W.P.Nos.27195 of 2007 and batch, I am of the considered opinion that this case is squarely covered by the aforementioned decision and accordingly, the writ petition is allowed in the same terms with the same directions. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________________ JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA 14th June 2011 DR
