CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. Vinod Gupta, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. C.B. Goel, Advocate for respondent No.1. Mr. R.S. Kundu, Advocate for respondent Nos.2 & 3. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) This civil writ petition filed under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India prays for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus, directing respondent Nos. 2 & 3 i.e. Shri Krishan Institute of Engineering & Technology, Kurukshetra and Managing committee, Shri Krishan Institute of Engineering & Technology, Kurukshetra, to issue Roll Number issued by Kurukshetra University, to the petitioner for the examinations to be held from 30.12.2008. CWP No. 21879 of 2008 [2] Learned counsel for the petitioner has informed the Court that the petitioner, on the indulgence having been shown by this Court, has been able to take the examination. Learned counsel for the petitioner has further informed the Court that the petitioner does not have any grievance, as the needful prayed for in the petition, has been satisfied. During the course of hearing, however, it has been pointed out that the respondent- Institute is not issuing receipts for the fees received from the students. It has further been pointed out that whereas higher fees is taken, less fees is reflected in the records of the College. Learned counsel has further contended that the respondent-Institute insists on payment by cash. In the context of the case of the petitioner, learned counsel contends that the petitioner applied for admission in open category and was given admission. It has now become evident that the admission of the petitioner has been shown against a seat from weaker section and therefore, while higher fees has been charged, less amount is shown in the records of the College. Sh. C.B. Goel, Advocate, appearing for the University has informed the Court that for a person coming from weaker section lower fees is to be charged. CWP No. 21879 of 2008 [3] Considering the totality of facts and circumstances of the case and the conduct of respondent Nos.2 & 3, in the context of the petitioner, whose roll number was issued by the University, however, not released to the petitioner by respondent Nos.2 & 3 and the contention made in the petition, it would be just and proper to direct the Kurukshetra University through its Registrar to conduct an enquiry into the affairs of respondent Nos. 2 & 3, in the context reflected in the order hereinabove and other averments made in the petition. An Officer from the Department of Technical Education would also be involved in the enquiry. Respondent Nos. 2 & 3 are directed to cooperate with the Enquiry Committee by supplying the entire record. In case, the Enquiry Committee finds that respondent Nos. 2 & 3 have been misconducting and violating Rules & Regulations or defrauding students, proper action as required by law would be initiated within 90 days of receipt of copy of this order. It is made clear that if any action is proposed to be taken against respondent Nos.2 and 3 at the instance of the University or the State Government, the same would be taken only after giving an opportunity of hearing to respondent Nos.2 CWP No. 21879 of 2008 [4] and 3.
