UGC Regulations are mandatory rules - Kerala High Court

A Full bench of the Kerala High Court in Dr D.Radhakrishna Pillai v State of Kerala and others [W.P.(C) 17148/13] and various other connected cases thereto, has ruled in affirmative that Regulations prescribed by University Grants Commission (UGC) for appointment to the posts of principles and teachers in various universities and affiliated colleges have to be mandatorily followed. The Full Bench overruled a verdict of a division bench as in S.N. College vs. N. Raveendran decided on 24 October, 2001 which held UGC Regulations,1998 would not apply in the absence of any amendments to the university first statutes/byelaws. The matters were referred to a larger bench after a Single bench expressed doubt whether the ruling of the Division Bench in Raveendran’s case laid down a correct law, in view of numerous rulings by apex court which had upheld the validity of UGC norms and regulations.

In CIVIL APPEAL NO. 12238 OF 2018, Pioneer Urban Land & Infrastructure Ltd. vs Govindan Raghavan, an appeal was filed before the Supreme Court  by the builder against the order of the National Consumer Forum. The builder had relied upon various clauses of the Apartment Buyer’s Agreement to refute the claim of the respondent but was rejected by the commission which found the said clauses as wholly one-sided, unfair and unreasonable, and could not be relied upon. The Supreme Court on perusal of the Apartment Buyer’s Agreement found stark incongruities between the remedies available to both the parties.
