       \n\n  \n\n  \n\n \n \n  IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM\n\nWP(C).No. 10056 of 2007(V)\n\n\n1. KERALA CO-OPERATIVE HOSPITAL FEDERATION\n                      ...

          The petitioner is an association of Co-operative<\/p>\n
Hospitals in the State.      It is running a Co-operative<\/p>\n
Hospital at Thalassery. Till 2001, the College of Nursing<\/p>\n
being conducted in the said Co-operative Hospital was<\/p>\n
affiliated to the Calicut University.    It seems that the<\/p>\n
Calicut University felt that it cannot continue to let an<\/p>\n
institution being run within the limits of another University<\/p>\n
viz., Kannur University, being affiliated to the Calicut<\/p>\n
University.    Therefore, the affiliation by the Calicut<\/p>\n
University was stopped.\n<\/p>\n
          2. The petitioner entered into an understanding<\/p>\n
as evidenced by Ext.P1 Memorandum of Understanding,<\/p>\n
whereby it agreed to conduct B.Sc. Nursing and Bachelor<\/p>\n
Physiotherapy Course with a strength of 60 students each<\/p>\n
in collaboration with the first party.      The terms and<\/p>\n
conditions in relation to such collaboration are contained in<\/p>\n
Ext.P1 Memorandum of Understanding.          The College of<\/p>\n
W.P.(C).NO.10056\/07<\/p>\n
                              :: 2 ::\n<\/p>\n
\nNursing is, therefore, being conducted at Nettoor in<\/p>\n
Thalassery and the said institution was being run in terms<\/p>\n
of Ext.P1. The Indian Nursing Council, a competent body<\/p>\n
under the Indian Council Act, 1947 has, by Ext.P2 dated<\/p>\n
18.10.2006, certified that the course conducted by the<\/p>\n
institution is an approved course of study for admission to<\/p>\n
an approved examination for the said course. By Ext.P3<\/p>\n
order, the Government issued an No Objection Certificate<\/p>\n
to the petitioner, Kerala Co-operative Hospital Federation<\/p>\n
to conduct B.Sc. Nursing College at Thalassery with an<\/p>\n
intake of 50 students with the recognition of the Kannur<\/p>\n
University. Exts.P4 and P5 applications were made by the<\/p>\n
petitioners for affiliation in relation to B.Sc. Nursing Course<\/p>\n
and the Bachelor of Physiotherapy course on 30.12.2005.<\/p>\n
The extent of the land available with the institution for<\/p>\n
which affiliation was sought for, as shown in Ext.P5 is<\/p>\n
151.5 cents. It now turns out, that the property covered<\/p>\n
by Exts.R1(a) and R1(b) is situated in Thalassery.           It<\/p>\n
seems that during the currency of the said applications, the<\/p>\n
petitioner acquired an additional extent of 296.93 cents, as<\/p>\n
W.P.(C).NO.10056\/07<\/p>\n
                             :: 3 ::\n<\/p>\n
\npart of the same is in Mannayad, Thalassery and part in<\/p>\n
Andaloor in Dharmadom.         The details fo the same are<\/p>\n
given in Ext.P6.      Ext.P7 reminder was sent by the<\/p>\n
petitioner.   But by Exts.P8 and P9, the petitioner was<\/p>\n
informed that the applications for starting new colleges for<\/p>\n
the academic year 2006-07 were recommended by the<\/p>\n
Syndicate as there was no sufficient extent of land in the<\/p>\n
possession of the petitioner.       Permission was, therefore,<\/p>\n
granted to submit fresh applications during the academic<\/p>\n
year 2007-08 with all documents on or before 31.12.2006.<\/p>\n
I note that Exts.P8 and P9 were issued on 20.12.2006.<\/p>\n
          3. Exts.P8 and P9 were challenged in the writ<\/p>\n
petition as it was originally instituted. Thereafter, Exts.P10<\/p>\n
and P11 were issued by the University granting permission<\/p>\n
to submit applications after paying a fresh registration fee<\/p>\n
of Rs.20,000\/- and a late fee of Rs.5,000\/-. Exts.P8, P9,<\/p>\n
P10 and P11 are challenged in the writ petition.<\/p>\n
          4.    This court passed an interim order on<\/p>\n
3.4.2007 to the following effect:\n<\/p>\n
W.P.(C).NO.10056\/07<\/p>\n
                                  :: 4 ::\n<\/p>\n
\n             “There would be an interim direction to consider the<\/p>\n
      application of the petitioner for affiliation of courses applied<\/p>\n
      without insisting on payment of fee of Rs.25,000\/- each<\/p>\n
      again, since he had already paid earlier the fees.”<\/p>\n
          5.       Another interim order was passed on<\/p>\n
17.08.2007.\n<\/p>\n
             “In view of Ext.P13 being available, there is<\/p>\n
      apparently no reason to refer the case of the petitioner to the<\/p>\n
      Government for its view as has been done by the University,<\/p>\n
      as evidenced by Ext.P2.       Hence, it is directed that the<\/p>\n
      Syndicate of the University will take up Exts.P4 and P5<\/p>\n
      applications and consider the same on the basis that the<\/p>\n
      Government has stated its no objection in Ext.P13<\/p>\n
      Government Order.        Let a final decision be taken as<\/p>\n
      aforesaid within an outer limit of three weeks from now and<\/p>\n
      place before this court.”<\/p>\n
          6.     Thereupon, the University considered the<\/p>\n
application for affiliation on merits and passed Ext.P14<\/p>\n
order declining to grant affiliation, for the following<\/p>\n
reasons:\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      “1.     The land requirement as per the University rules is<\/p>\n
              not met by the educational agency.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
        2.    The courses now being conducted are that of the<\/p>\n
              University as per Memorandum of Undertaking and<\/p>\n
              this  does    not   constitute     the   affiliation  of<\/p>\n
              college\/course.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
W.P.(C).NO.10056\/07<\/p>\n
                           :: 5 ::\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
<\/blockquote>\n
Ext.P14 has been challenged in the amended writ petition.<\/p>\n
          7.   A counter affidavit has been filed by the<\/p>\n
University supporting Ext.P14. The petitioner has filed a<\/p>\n
reply affidavit.\n<\/p>\n
          8.   I heard learned counsel for the petitioner<\/p>\n
Sri.Mohammed Nias and the learned standing counsel for<\/p>\n
the Kannur University.\n<\/p>\n
          9.   Learned counsel for the petitioner submits<\/p>\n
that the reasons given in Ext.P14 are not tenable. The first<\/p>\n
reason given in Ext.P14 is that the extent of the land in the<\/p>\n
possession of the petitioner is not sufficient to start the<\/p>\n
Nursing College. It is contended that it is not open to the<\/p>\n
University to cite the alleged inadequacy of the extent of<\/p>\n
the land as the reason for declining affiliation. Reference is<\/p>\n
made, in this regard, to the Regulations issued by the<\/p>\n
Indian Council of Nursing, which governs the action taken<\/p>\n
by the competent body of the Indian Council in dealing<\/p>\n
with the application for approval of a course being<\/p>\n
conducted by any institution and comprehended by the<\/p>\n
Indian Nursing Council Act. It is contended that the extent<\/p>\n
W.P.(C).NO.10056\/07<\/p>\n
                           :: 6 ::\n<\/p>\n
\nof land is one of the aspects taken note of by the Central<\/p>\n
Government and if therefore, the Indian Nursing Council,<\/p>\n
as is evident by Ext.P2, granted the requisite approval,<\/p>\n
then those parameters which fell for consideration by the<\/p>\n
Indian Nursing Council cannot again be considered by the<\/p>\n
University while dealing with an application for affiliation.<\/p>\n
Reference in this regard is made to the law laid down by<\/p>\n
the Full Bench in Vikram Sarabhai Educational Trust<\/p>\n
and B.Ed College v. University of Calicut and<\/a> another<\/p>\n
{2008(2)KHC 647}.\n<\/p>\n
         10. It is further pointed out that, at any rate, the<\/p>\n
suitable land required for the conduct of an institution<\/p>\n
offering B.Sc Nursing course is only 3 acres and since the<\/p>\n
petitioner had acquied an additional 2.96 acres, over and<\/p>\n
above the 3 acres, even the requirement insofar as the<\/p>\n
extent of land is concerned, was satisfied by the petitioner.<\/p>\n
The fact that the land subsequently acquired is not<\/p>\n
adjacent to the existing land is not a matter of concern,<\/p>\n
contends the learned counsel for the petitioner. There is<\/p>\n
no such requirement spelt out either by the Indian Nursing<\/p>\n
W.P.(C).NO.10056\/07<\/p>\n
                             :: 7 ::\n<\/p>\n
\nCouncil Act or for that matter, the University Act or the<\/p>\n
University First Statute.\n<\/p>\n
          11. Insofar as the second aspect mentioned in<\/p>\n
Ext.P14 is concerned, it is pointed out that the facilities<\/p>\n
available with the petitioner including the facilities available<\/p>\n
for the hospital have been found to be adequate and<\/p>\n
satisfactory by the Kannur University, when it entered into<\/p>\n
the Memorandum of Undertaking referred to in Ext.P5. If<\/p>\n
that be so, it is open to the petitioner to seek an affiliation<\/p>\n
on its own. Ext.P1 Memorandum of Undertaking will not<\/p>\n
derogate from the right of the owner of the land where a<\/p>\n
hospital has been established and the institution which<\/p>\n
runs a hospital as such, where the courses are being<\/p>\n
offered, it is contended.\n<\/p>\n
          12. I find force in the submission made by the<\/p>\n
learned counsel for the petitioner.      The major objection<\/p>\n
taken to deny affiliation, as is discernible from Ext.P14, and<\/p>\n
the extremely unsatisfactory counter affidavit filed by the<\/p>\n
University is that the extent of the land is not sufficient. I<\/p>\n
take note of the fact that firstly the Nursing Council did not<\/p>\n
W.P.(C).NO.10056\/07<\/p>\n
                            :: 8 ::\n<\/p>\n
\nconsider whether the extent of land available with the<\/p>\n
petitioner is either inadequate or insufficient to run the<\/p>\n
institution. If the Nursing Council, the competent authority<\/p>\n
under the Central Indian Nursing Council Act, considers the<\/p>\n
extent of the land available with the petitioner as<\/p>\n
adequate, to enable it to run the course B.Sc Nursing, then<\/p>\n
the self-same matters cannot be taken note of by the<\/p>\n
Kannur University to deny affiliation, unless it is a case<\/p>\n
where the order of approval granted by the Central Body is<\/p>\n
found to be vitiated by fraud or having been obtained by<\/p>\n
fraudulent means or it is a case where the particulars<\/p>\n
noted by the Central Body is palpably erroneous as to<\/p>\n
make the order vitiated by a fraudulent exercise of power.<\/p>\n
It is not open to the University, which is called upon to<\/p>\n
grant affiliation, to deny affiliation for a reason, which<\/p>\n
otherwise must be deemed to have been taken note of and<\/p>\n
found to be satisfactory by the Central Body. This is the<\/p>\n
law that has been laid down by the Supreme Court and this<\/p>\n
court, on several occasions and the law has been reiterated<\/p>\n
by the Full Bench of this court in Vikram Sarabhai<\/p>\n
W.P.(C).NO.10056\/07<\/p>\n
                           :: 9 ::\n<\/p>\n
\nEducational Trust and B.Ed College v. University of<\/p>\n
Calicut and<\/a> another {2008(2)KHC 647}. It is not a<\/p>\n
case where Ext.P3 order of approval issued by the Indian<\/p>\n
Nursing Council is vitiated by fraud or that it has been<\/p>\n
obtained by fraudulent means. I also take note of Ext.P3<\/p>\n
No Objection Certificate issued by the Government and I<\/p>\n
find that there is no reason to disbelieve that the<\/p>\n
Government must have looked into all these aspects before<\/p>\n
it issued Ext.P3 No Objection Certificate.<\/p>\n
          13. Insofar as the second aspect is concerned,<\/p>\n
apart from the cryptic reasons stated in Ext.P14, I do not<\/p>\n
find any specific reference to this aspect in the counter<\/p>\n
affidavit.   I consider it appropriate to hold any such<\/p>\n
objection has been given up by the University or not<\/p>\n
seriously pursued. At any rate, the fact that the facilities<\/p>\n
available with the petitioner were considered to be<\/p>\n
sufficient by the Calicut University in the first instance for<\/p>\n
running the B.Sc Nursing course and thereafter by the<\/p>\n
respondent University from the year 2005 is noteworthy.<\/p>\n
W.P.(C).NO.10056\/07<\/p>\n
                               :: 10 ::\n<\/p>\n
\n          For all these reasons, I am of the view that<\/p>\n
Ext.P14 is unsustainable.         The writ petition is allowed.<\/p>\n
Ext.P14 is set aside. It is declared that the petitioner is<\/p>\n
entitled to get affiliation from Kannur University, to enable<\/p>\n
it to offer courses in B.Sc Nursing and Bachelor of<\/p>\n
Physiotherapy. Consequential orders shall be passed by<\/p>\n
the Kannur University within six weeks from the date of<\/p>\n
receipt of a copy of this judgment.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
