CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.16578 of 2009 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.16578 of 2009(O&M) DATE OF DECISION: AUGUST 12 , 2010 Aman Sharma .....Petitioner VERSUS The Lovely Professional University, Phagwara and others ....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH PRESENT: Mr. G.S. Sandhawalia, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. R.S. Bajaj, Advocate, for the respondents. **** RANJIT SINGH, J. On 6.8.2010, the case was adjourned to enable Mr. Bajaj,appearing for the respondents to obtain instructions to revoke the expulsion, on the petitioner giving undertaking to behave well in future and for not giving any cause of complaint. Mr. Bajaj is ready with the instructions in this regard, but the petitioner has moved miscellaneous application revealing that he has already taken admission in 5 year integrated B.Tech (Hons.) MBA (Computer Science Engineering) Course in Maharishi Markandey University at Mulana, District Ambala and as such, he is no more interested in pursuing the impugned order of expulsion. The CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.16578 of 2009 -2- counsel for the petitioner still prays that this aspect may be considered and the expulsion be set aside on the ground that this was without any justification. Other prayer is that a sum of Rs.2,82,000/- deposited with the respondent-University as a fee, may be directed to be returned. I find this prayer to be highly unreasonable. Once the petitioner had taken admission in the University and attended course for some time, the fee which he had paid, cannot be directed to be returned. The respondent-University apparently is prepared to forget the past and ready to admit the student again, which concession the petitioner does not wish to enjoy. In that background, there would not be any need to go into the validity of the expulsion order and for issuing direction for refund of the fee for the period for which the petitioner had already studied with the University. However, the petitioner is justified in making the prayer that he was made to deposit the fee for 5th Semester while he was under expulsion and was not admitted to the course. Mr. Bajaj points out to the contents of reply contained in para 8, where the petitioner has been given option to seek the refund of the fee of Rs. 49,500/-, which was deposited by the petitioner. No further order, as such, is required to be passed in this case. The writ petition is, accordingly,dismissed. August 12, 2010 ( RANJIT SINGH ) monika JUDGE
