JNTU-H told to grant affiliation to MAK College of Pharmacy
A two-judge bench of the High Court at Hyderabad comprising Justice V Ramasubramanian and Justice Anis on Thursday directed the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University-Hyderabad (JNTU-H) to grant affiliation to MAK College of Pharmacy into M Pharm (Pharmaceutics) if the sole ground for disaffiliation was that the college was not granted affiliation for first year of UG programme.
Hyderabad: A two-judge bench of the High Court at Hyderabad comprising Justice V Ramasubramanian and Justice Anis on Thursday directed the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University-Hyderabad (JNTU-H) to grant affiliation to MAK College of Pharmacy into M Pharm (Pharmaceutics) if the sole ground for disaffiliation was that the college was not granted affiliation for first year of UG programme.
“On the one hand, colleges without infrastructure somehow manage to run with students. Therefore, we cannot allow a college with infrastructure to remain closed, that too for a post-graduation course. Zero tolerance should be shown equally to the wastage of infrastructure as it would be shown to lack of infrastructure”.
The bench was referring to Regulation 3.25 of the University Regulations. PG programmes under the said regulation are offered only to colleges which offer UG programme. The court pointed out that in the instant case, except first year, it was carrying out the under graduate programme.
“We have carefully considered the submissions. It is true that as per Regulation 3.25, the grant of affiliation for M Pharm would depend upon the grant of affiliation for B Pharm. But the question as to whether the grant of affiliation for admission to the first year of B Pharm course for the same academic year is not very clear.
Suppose a college happens to be a newly-established institution which had applied for the first time for affiliation to both B Pharm and M Pharm courses, the application of the prescription contained in Regulation 3.25 is beyond any pale of doubt.
But there is no clarity in Regulation 3.25 as to what happens in cases where affiliation for the first year of the under graduate programme alone is refused for the current academic year, but the affiliation for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th year of the under graduate programme continues to be in force," Justice Ramasubramanian said while issuing directions.
The bench was dealing with a writ plea filed by Mohd. Abdul Khader Memorial Educational Society.
