Ludhiana college moves court against disaffiliation order, gets interim relief

Chandigarh : Much to the relief of Mai Bagho College in Ludhiana, the Punjab and Haryana High Court has directed Panjab University to accept examination forms of all students from the college.

The college, in its petition, had alleged that the principal failed to give the authorities "an ego massage" as a result of which the Syndicate recommended cancellation of their affiliation and also debarred the students from appearing for the annual exams.

In the petition, it was alleged that the college principal could not "satisfy the arrogance of a member from an inspection committee" and an unfavourable report was submitted to the Syndicate by this committee. It was also stated that the Panjab University has held the future of around 300 students to ransom just to satisfy its ego.

The Punjab and Haryana High Court, meanwhile, has directed PU to accept the examination forms of all students and has further asked the varsity to reply to all the allegations levelled by the college.

Further in its petition, the college has accused PU of taking a decision to disaffiliate them in its Syndicate proceedings on November 6, 2009 which were not even conveyed to them. It was added that they learnt about the decision only after they received a letter informing them of a penalty imposed on the college.

The inspection committee had visited the college on August 29 last year and a member had allegedly felt offended at the behaviour of the college principal. The Syndicate at Panjab University, in its meeting scheduled for Saturday, will be discussing the action to be taken on the court directions.
