     These writ petitions involve common questions. They<\/p>\n
have been heard together and are being disposed of by a<\/p>\n
common judgment.        I will refer to the facts in WPC<\/p>\n
No.4350\/09.     Discussion of the contentions        raised<\/p>\n
therein will govern the connected writ petition also.<\/p>\n
     2.   Petitioners are M.Com students in the School of<\/p>\n
Distance Education under the 1st respondent University.<\/p>\n
They commenced their course in September 2007. As per<\/p>\n
Ext.P1 regulations issued by the University, students of<\/p>\n
M.Com have to undergo four semester course with 19<\/p>\n
theory papers for 80 marks each. They have to submit a<\/p>\n
project report for 100 marks and two assignment papers<\/p>\n
of 10 marks each for every subject. In the place of project<\/p>\n
report and assignment papers, which is applicable to the<\/p>\n
students of the School of Distance Education, the students<\/p>\n
in the regular stream have to attend a viva voce and are<\/p>\n
awarded with internal marks (Sessional Marks).<\/p>\n
W.P ( C) Nos. 4350 & 12669 of 2009
\n                                  2<\/span><\/p>\n
      3.   Petitioners were prosecuting the course. They<\/p>\n
completed two semesters.        They are preparing to write<\/p>\n
their first year examination. They then came to know of<\/p>\n
Ext.P2 communication issued by the 3rd respondent<\/p>\n
notifying the revision of the syllabus and also the<\/p>\n
introduction of two new descriptive papers under the title<\/p>\n
of ‘Accounting Practices’ for 200 marks at the end of the<\/p>\n
1st year and another for 180 marks under the head of<\/p>\n
‘Business Policy and Practices’ at the end of the second<\/p>\n
year.    These two descriptive       papers are in lieu of<\/p>\n
assignments . Ext.P2 is seen to have been issued on the<\/p>\n
basis of Ext.P3. Ext.P3 reflects the decision taken by the<\/p>\n
Academic Council. The relevant portion of the same reads<\/p>\n
as follows:\n<\/p>\n
           “Sanction has therefore been accorded to
\n     implement the decision of the Faculty of
\n     Commerce        and  Management     Studies   that
\n     “Regarding the      internal assessment of M.Com
\n     course in School of Distance Education it was
\n     resolved to introduce two descriptive papers one
\n     in the first year carrying 200 marks and the other
\n     in the second year carrying 180 marks, for the
\n     students registered for M.Com under School of
\n     Distance      Education    from  2007   admission
\n     onwards.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
W.P ( C) Nos. 4350 & 12669 of 2009
\n                                  3<\/span><\/p>\n
      4.   Exts.P2 and P3 have been challenged in the writ<\/p>\n
petition.    A counter affidavit has been filed by the<\/p>\n
respondents.\n<\/p>\n
      5.   In the meanwhile, petitioners were permitted to<\/p>\n
give their examinations as per an interim order passed by<\/p>\n
this Court. They have given their examinations as per<\/p>\n
Ext.P1 except the additional descriptive papers which they<\/p>\n
have to give as per Ext.P2.\n<\/p>\n
      6.   Heard Mr.P.Shamsudin, learned counsel for the<\/p>\n
petitioners and Mr.P.C Sasidharan, learned counsel for the<\/p>\n
University.\n<\/p>\n
      7.   Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that<\/p>\n
assuming that the academic council of the University is<\/p>\n
entitled to    adopt a new format for examination      and<\/p>\n
assessment of the candidates who are prosecuting a course<\/p>\n
as students of the Distance Education Programme, the said<\/p>\n
change can be effected only prospectively.  Ext.P3 reflects<\/p>\n
the decision taken by the Academic Council in its meeting<\/p>\n
held on 5.4.2008 and it is made applicable to the students<\/p>\n
registered for M.Com for the year 2007 batch onwards.<\/p>\n
W.P ( C) Nos. 4350 & 12669 of 2009
\n                                  4<\/span><\/p>\n
Thus retrospective effect has been given to the decision,he<\/p>\n
contends.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
      8.   Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that<\/p>\n
Ext.P3 does not reflect a change of syllabus. The only<\/p>\n
change effected is to bring about the requirement of two<\/p>\n
descriptive papers, one at the end of the first year and<\/p>\n
another at the end of the second year in lieu of<\/p>\n
assignments. This was the change brought about for the<\/p>\n
students of the School of Distance Education, since it was<\/p>\n
found that proper assessment of their merit was not<\/p>\n
possible by way of internal assessment. The students of the<\/p>\n
School of Distance Education do not attend regular classes<\/p>\n
and their prosecution of studies is not regularly monitored<\/p>\n
by any Board of Teachers. Therefore, their knowledge and<\/p>\n
acumen     could be tested effectively, only by a written<\/p>\n
examination.      The decision taken under Ext.P3, it is<\/p>\n
contended, is within the powers of the University.     The<\/p>\n
petitioners were required to give the additional descriptive<\/p>\n
papers at the end of the first year only by April 2009.<\/p>\n
Therefore, they had clear six months from the date of<\/p>\n
W.P ( C) Nos. 4350 & 12669 of 2009
\n                                  5<\/span><\/p>\n
Ext.P3 to prepare for such paper. The additional paper<\/p>\n
comprehends the same syllabus and does not comprehend<\/p>\n
any additional syllabus.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
      9.   Having heard counsel on both sides, I take note<\/p>\n
of the fact that Ext.P3 was no doubt issued during the<\/p>\n
currency    of the     course   which  the   petitioner  had<\/p>\n
commenced in the year 2007. But it cannot be disputed<\/p>\n
that the Academic Council of the University has the<\/p>\n
jurisdiction to take a decision in the nature of Ext.P3. The<\/p>\n
question is regarding prejudice, if any caused to the<\/p>\n
petitioners by reason of a decision having been taken<\/p>\n
during the period      when they have been prosecuting a<\/p>\n
course. I do not think that any serious prejudice has been<\/p>\n
caused to the petitioners in this regard since they had<\/p>\n
notice of about six months regarding the requirement to<\/p>\n
give an additional descriptive paper at the end of the first<\/p>\n
year.   The second additional descriptive paper is to be<\/p>\n
taken only at the end of the 2nd year. Obviously it cannot<\/p>\n
cause any prejudice to the petitioners since they obviously<\/p>\n
got more than 1 1\/2           year’s time   in this regard.<\/p>\n
W.P ( C) Nos. 4350 & 12669 of 2009
\n                                  6<\/span><\/p>\n
Significantly, the additional descriptive paper would only<\/p>\n
comprehend       the existing syllabus and if that be so,<\/p>\n
petitioners cannot claim any serious prejudice by being<\/p>\n
required to answer the additional papers from the same<\/p>\n
syllabus in lieu of internal assignment.<\/p>\n
      10. Therefore, I am not inclined to interfere with<\/p>\n
Exts.P2 and P3 even for the limited purpose of considering<\/p>\n
the contention of 2007 batch students.<\/p>\n
      11. Learned counsel for the University is right in<\/p>\n
relying on the dictum laid down by the Bench of this Court<\/p>\n
in WPC No.16477 of 2009 and connected cases. The Bench<\/p>\n
has reiterated the principle that this Court would      be<\/p>\n
reluctant to interfere with academic matters since it is<\/p>\n
better left to the wisdom of the Academic Council.<\/p>\n
      12.     I also   record the submission made by the<\/p>\n
learned counsel for the University, Sri.P.C Sasidharan that<\/p>\n
the petitioners would be given the liberty to give their<\/p>\n
additional descriptive papers of Accounting Practices and<\/p>\n
Business Policy and Practices, as and when Examinations<\/p>\n
for the said papers for the students of School of Distance<\/p>\n
W.P ( C) Nos. 4350 & 12669 of 2009
\n                                  7<\/span><\/p>\n
Education are held. The said examination should be held<\/p>\n
before the petitioners complete their course.<\/p>\n
      Subject to the above, the writ petitions are disposed<\/p>\n
of.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
