Courts Cant Trench & Pick Holes in the Academic Pasture: Kerala High Court Dismisses Plea Moved By 92 MBBS Students

Case: Aravind TR & Ors. v Kerala University of Health Sciences

Coram: Justice Raja Vijayaraghavan V

Case No.: WP(C) NO. 5340 OF 2022

Court Observation: “It is not the domain of the Courts to trench in the academic pasture and pick holes therein. It has been held by the Apex Court that Courts should be averse to substitute its own views as to what is wise, prudent and proper in relation to academic matters in preference to the opinion of experts in the field.”

“This Court cannot sit in judgment over the decisions of an academic body in so far as it sets the questions for a subject, particularly when this Court has no domain expertise in these matters. The petitioners have not been able to point out any blatant violation of the statutory provisions, Rules, Regulations or Guidelines.”
