Sections 3, 6, 7 and 13 |
On perusal of the various provisions of the Ain, 2010 particularly sections 3, 6, 7 and 13, it appears that it is the Government and the University Grants Commission which enjoy the exclusive domain to give approval for the establishment of the Private University at any place in Bangladesh and whether in exercise of their power under the provisions of the Ain, 2010 they can accord permission for establishing independent outer campuses is a matter to be decided by them and since the said two authorities have not taken any decision in the matter, we do not consider it proper and advisable to make any comment of our own in the matter, because such comment may jeopardize the discretion given to exercise of power by the said two statutory authorities under the Ain, 2010. We are of the view that writ- respondent Nos.l and 2 should be allowed to exercise their wisdom in taking decision on the prayer made by the petitioner for establishing outer campuses at Chittagong and Rajshahi in accordance with the provisions of the Ain, 2010 without any interference by this Court. At the same time, we do not approve of the action of the respondents in sitting over the applications of the petitioner so long though they had every right to decide the applications in either way. In the context, we find the observations made by the High Court Division that in the meantime, the petitioner has fulfilled the criteria and also complied with the conditions as mandated in provisio to section 3(5) and sub-section (9) of section 6 of the Ain, 2010 and as such it is entitled to have "permission of independent campus of Rajshahi and Chittagong" indiscreet. When the High Court Division gave direction upon the writ-respondents to consider the case of the petitioner with regard to the opening of independent campuses at Chittagong and Rajshahi in accordance with law, it should not have made any comment as to merit to the entitlement of the petitioner to get approval of establishing the outer campuses at Rajshahi and Chittagong. Furthermore, when the learned Advocate for the petitioner did not press the first part of the Rule as to the shutting down of the outer campuses and as per own statements of the petitioner approval to establish outer campuses of the University at Rajshahi and Chittagong was not given by the concerned writ- respondents, the High Court Division was totally wrong in allowing the order of stay of operation of the impugned order passed earlier to continue till the appropriate decision is taken by the respondents, because by such order of stay in fact the petitioner has been allowed to continue with its academic activities in the unapproved campuses at Rajshahi and Chittagong nullifying the impugned order as well as the provisions of the Ain, 2010.
