Case Number I.C.A. No.197 of 2005 in Writ Petition No.4903 of
Decision Date Oct 05, 2005
Hearing Date
Decision This I.C.A. proceeds against judgment dated 30-8-2005, passed by learned Single Judge in Chamber of this Court, whereby Writ Petition No.4903 of 2005, filed by the appellant has been dismissed. Learned counsel has tried to argue that the relevant rules and regulations have not been properly interpreted in the impugned judgment in the light of attending circumstances of the case. We have examined the records of the said writ petition and we are afraid no case for interference stands made out. However, we find that on an earlier occasion the appellant was referred to the University Syndicate who passed an order leading to the filing of the said writ petition. We have examined the provisions of Bahauddin Zakariya University Act, 1975 and find that against the said decision, a revision is competent before the Chancellor of the University, under section 11-A of the said Act. If so advised, the petitioner may file a revision before the Chancellor of the said University. With these observations the I.C.A. is disposed of.
Summary This case revolves around the interpretation of the Bahauddin Zakariya University Act, 1975, specifically section 11-A, which addresses the competency of revisions before the Chancellor of the University against decisions made by the University's Syndicate. The appellant, Bilal Hussain, challenged a decision made by the University's Syndicate through a writ petition that was ultimately dismissed by a single judge. The court found no grounds for interference in the original judgment. The case highlights the procedural aspects of university governance and the judicial avenues available for addressing grievances within the educational framework. The decision emphasizes the importance of adhering to established legal protocols when contesting administrative decisions within academic institutions. This case serves as a precedent for similar future disputes regarding university regulations and the rights of petitioners seeking redress from university authorities.
