The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that, in spite the declaration of law made by this Court on many an occasion, as to the relevant aspects to be considered by the University in this regard, the petitioners are being made to run from 'pillar to post', which is quite arbitrary and hence sought to be intercepted by this Court. 3. Heard the learned standing counsel appearing for the University as well. 4. After hearing both the sides and also on going through the judgment dated 28-07-2010 in W.P.(C) No.23318/2010 (Ext.P6 in W.P.(C) 14732/2011 and Ext.P7 in W.P.(C) 14733/2011), this Court finds that the grievance of the petitioners can be redressed in the same terms as already ordered by this Court as per the above verdict.

In the above circumstances, the respondent University is directed to issue 'consent of affiliation' to the petitioners within 'ten days' from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, which would be subject to the condition that the petitioners should rectify all the deficiencies pointed out for having affiliation. 6. The petitioners shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the Writ Petition before the respondent for taking further steps. Both the Writ Petitions are disposed of accordingly. vdv P.R.RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE
