COMMON JUDGMENT (Judgment of the Court was delivered by P.SATHASIVAM, J.) Heard the learned counsel appearing for the appellants as well as respondents. 2. Learned counsel appearing for the appellants fairly submits that the appellants, who are all students and who joined the institution, after completion of the course, left the institution. According to him, in view of the above fact and subsequent developments, no further adjudication is required in this matter. However, learned counsel for the appellants seeks observation that the question relating to the power of University in fixing the revised fees is to be left open. 3. In the light of the conclusion arrived at by the learned single Judge, we are of the view that there is no such observation is required. However, it is made clear that if the same is permissible, the appellants are free to raise the same at the appropriate stage in accordance with law. 4.
