Section 22 of the Act provides that the Commission^maymake regulations to carry out the provisions of this Act,^{withpriorapprovalofthe} Government. In exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section 1 of Section 22 of the Act of 2019, the Government approved^{theRegulations} called as the Andhra Pradesh Higher Education Regulatory^{andMonitoring} Commission Regulations, 2020 (for short, “the Regulations ).

The case of the petitioner colleges is that the^{AndhraPradesh} Higher Education Regulatory and Monitoring Commission (for short, “Commission - APHERMC”) invited private, unaided medical and dental institutions to submit their proposals for fee structure^{fortheblockperiod} 2020-21 to 2022-23 vide notification dated 09.01.2020.

¶742

The petitioner colleges responding to the said notification submitted the requisite material and data in support^{oftheproposalsforfee} structures in respect of the fee structures proposed by them. The Commission, it is stated, sent its recommendations^{totheGovernmentvide}

¶745

letter dated 24.05.2020 and the Government subsequently notified the said recommendations vide the Government Order No.56. dated 29.05.2020, which is impugned in the present petitions.

¶746

The fee which has been fixed in the order impugned for postgraduate medical courses as also dental courses is as under;

¶751

The petitioners who are running the medical colleges are aggrieved of the Government Order impugned inasmuch as they state that the data and material which was furnished by them to the Commission was not at all considered and was ignored. It was urged that fee had to be fixed

¶752

¶753

HCJ& RRRJ WP_9871_2020 & batch

¶754

college/institution and that uniform fee could never^havebeen qua every fixed as the same was never envisaged by the Act, the Rules and the Regulations. It was urged that the fee for a ‘Category-A^{ConvenerQuota} seat for the block period of three years from 2020-21^{to2022-23whichwas} less than the fee fixed for a ‘Category-A fixed at Rs.4,32,000/-, was even Convener Quota’ seat for the previous block period^{from2017-18to2019-20} which was Rs.6,90,000/-;

¶755

Learned counsel for the petitioner Colleges, Mr. Challa Gunaranjan, would submit that by fixing a uniform fee^{structureforallthe} medical colleges across the board, the Commission has^{notonlyviolatedthe} provisions of the Act, the Rules and the Regulations^{framedundertheAct,} but also acted in gross violation of the Apex Court^{judgmentrenderedinthe} case of T.M.A. Pai Foundation v. State of Karnataka,^^wherein the majority judgment observed that fixation of a rigid^{feestructurewouldbean} unacceptable restriction.

¶756

It is stated that as per the said judgment, the^{decisiontofixthefee} ought to have necessarily been left to a private education institution which was not seeking any aid from the Government.

¶757

It was urged that if the right to fix the fee was^{takenawayfromthe} the colleges, it would grossly affect the petitioners who are running standards of their institutions inasmuch as lowering^{ofthefeechargeable} (2002) 8 see 481

¶758

¶759

HCJ & RRRJ WP_9871_2020 & batch

¶760

from the candidates would result in payment of lesser scales of fee to the faculty, which would have the effect of a brain drain from the institutions run by the petitioners.

¶761

It was stated that while the right to propose the fee was vested in the petitioners, the official respondents clearly could question the fee proposed, in case, it was found on the basis of data that there was any ©lement in the fee structure proposed by them, which would amount to profiteering. 20. Learned Advocate General appearing for the State at the very outset stated that the legal position as propounded by the learned counsel for the petitioner colleges is unquestionable and that the fee had to be fixed on the basis of the data provided by the colleges. Yet an effort was made by the Learned Advocate General to suggest that perhaps the fixation of fee, i n accordance with the ratio of the Apex Court judgments rendered in the case of T.M.A. Pai Foundation (supra) and P.A. Inamdar v. State of Maharashtra, ^ as also the Act, the Rules and the Regulations framed thereunder could be followed for the next block period 2023 to 2026, and that perhaps if the candidates who are either undergoing the courses or have already finished the courses could agree to paying some extra amount in addition to the one which was fixed by the Commission, the matter could perhaps be settled without going into the evaluation of the data individually produced by the colleges.

HCJ & RRRJ WP 9871 2020 & batch -

¶765

Learned counsel for the candidates, Mr. Dharmesh^DKJaiswal, however submitted that he would have to take time to seek instructions^from the candidates on the suggestion made by the Learned^{AdvocateGeneral.}

¶766

We, however, feel that it may not be absolutely^necessary to proceed on the suggestion made by the Learned Advocate General, inasmuch as we have to consider whether the procedure^adopted by APHERMC was in accordance with the Act, the Rules and^{theRegulations} framed.

¶767

We have heard learned counsel for the parties at^length.

¶768

It is not denied by any of the respondents that^{theCommissionin} fixing a uniform rate of fee across the board for all^{institutionshas} in fact violated not only the directions of the Apex Court^{butalsotheentirescheme} which was framed under the Act and the Rules and the^{Regulations.The} scheme as it is applicable in the State of Andhra Pradesh^{byvirtueofthe} application of the Rules and the Regulations supra^{wouldclearlyshowthat} the Commission was required to, based upon the data^{producedbyeachof} those institutions, determine whether there was any^{elementofprofiteering} in the fee structure so proposed by them.

¶769

It is not understandable that even when the Commission had invited from all the institutions, the requisite data^{withregardtovarious} aspects pertaining to fee regulation in the form of^{Schedules1to31andthe}

¶770

¶771

HCJ & RRRJ WP_9871_2020 & batch

¶772

said information was provided by the institutions, yet nothing is put forth for our perusal as to how the said data was treated by the Commission, It appears that the Commission had adopted some sort of a thumb rule even when each of the individual institutions had put forth for the perusal of the Commission the material justifying their fee proposals.

¶773

In fact, the uniform fee fixed by the Commission - APHERMC, may also be contrary to the interest of some students who may be forced to pay more fee to certain colleges, which did not even justify charging the fee that was fixed by Commission. There may still be colleges who may still be profiteering from the fee fixed by the Commission, as we do not know whether the uniform fee fixed by the Commission and applicable to such category of colleges actually deserve to charge that fee on account of lack of infrastructure, lack of good faculty, etc.

¶774

On the other hand, there may be colleges, which may justify charging a higher fee on account of better infrastructure, better faculty, equipment, etc. Unfortunately, these issues appeared never to have been gone into by the Commission - APHERMC.

¶775

It would be worthwhile to reproduce the observations made by the Apex Court in T.M.A. Pai Foundation (supra), wherein at paragraphs 54 and 56, it was held;

¶776

“54. The right to establish an educational institution can be regulated; but such regulatory measures must,

¶777

13 HCJ & RRR'J WP 9871_2020 & batch

¶778

in general, be to ensure the maintenance of proper academic standards, atmosphere and infrastructure (including qualified staff) and the prevention of maladministration by those in charge of management. The fixing of a rigid fee structure, dictating the formation and composition of a governing body, compulsory nomination of teachers and staff for appointment or nominating students for admissions would be unacceptable restrictions.

¶779

An educational institution is established for the purpose of imparting education of the type made available by the institution. Different courses of^study are usually taught by teachers who have to be recruited as per qualifications that may be prescribed. It is no secret that better working conditions will attract better teachers. More amenities will ensure that better students seek admission to that institution. One cannot lose sight of the fact that providing good amenities to the students in the form of competent teaching faculty and other infrastructure costs money. It has, therefore, to be left to the institution, if it chooses not to seek any aid from the Government, to determine the scale of fee that it can charge from^the students. One also cannot lose sight of the fact that we live in a competitive world today, where professional education is in demand. We have been to understand that a large number of given professional and other institutions have been started by private parties who do not seek any governmental aid. In a sense, a prospective student has various options open to him/her where, therefore, normally economic forces have a role to play. The decision on the fee to be charged must necessarily be left to the private educational institution that does not seek^oris not dependent upon any funds from the Government.

¶780

While holding so. the Apex Court further went on^{toholdthatsince} education was regarded as a charitable occupation,^{educationinstitutions} could not be permitted to charge a fee which amounts^{toprofiteering.} It was

¶781

held;

¶782

HCJ & RRRJ WP_9871 2020 & batch

¶783

"57. ...Since the object of setting up an educational institution is by definition “charitable”, it is clear^that an educational institution cannot charge such a fee as is not required for the purpose of fulfilling that object. To put it differently, in the establishment^of an educational institution, the object should not be to make a profit, inasmuch as education is essentially charitable In nature. There can, however, be a reasonable revenue surplus, which may be generated by the educational institution for the purpose of development of education and expansion of the institution. ”

¶784

The Apex Court in P.A. Inamdar (supra) sounded a note of caution to the Committees, which were directed to be constituted in terms of the judgment of the Apex Court in Islamic Academy of^{Educationv.State} of Karnataka,^ in the following manner;

¶785

“149. However, we would like to sound a note of caution to such Committees. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners have severely criticised the functioning of some of the Committees so constituted. It was pointed out by citing concrete examples that some of the Committees have indulged in assuming such powers and performing such functions as were never given or intended to be given to them by Islamic Academy [(2003) 6 SCC 697] . Certain decisions of some of the Committees were subjected to serious criticism by pointing out that^the fee structure approved by them was abysmally low which has rendered the functioning of the institutions almost impossible or made the Institutions run Into losses. In some of the institutions, the teachers have left their jobs and migrated to other institutions^as it was not possible for the management to retain talented and highly qualified teachers against the salary permitted by the Committees. Retired High Court Judges heading the Committees are assisted by experts in accounts and management. They also have the benefit of hearing the contending parties. We expect the Committees, so long as they remain

¶786

3 (2003) 6 SCC 697

¶787

¶788

HCJ & RR-RJ WP_9871_2020 & batch

¶789

functional, to be more sensitive and to act rationally and reasonably with due regard for realities. They should refrain from generalising fee structures and, where needed, should go into accounts, schemes, plans and budgets of an individual institution for the purpose of finding out what would be an ideal and reasonable fee structure for that institution. ”

¶790

To our mind, the responsibility which lies upon^{theCommissionto} consider the fee proposals, with a view to remove any element of profiteering is an onerous responsibility. A balance has to be maintained to ensure that the fee structure which is proposed by the institutions is not interfered with on general considerations of compassion for the students, inasmuch as an unqualified compassion for students may result in greater harm to the institutions, which might be affected in terms of quality, efficiency and productivity. An abysmally low fee structure or a fee structure tinkered by the Commission, which is unrealistic, will only ensure that the institutions involved in specialized professional courses would face closure sooner than later.

¶791

In fact, there is no justification for the Commission not to go into all the elements of the proposed fee structure and test them on the basis of the criteria which has been fixed according to the Rules and Regulations as they have the wherewithal and assistance of the requisite professional chartered accountants to guide them on that aspect.

¶792

We need to mention here that after the Commission had fixed the uniform fee, which was made applicable to all institutions across the board,

¶793

¶794

HCJ & RRRJ WP_9871_2020 & batch

¶795

the institutions had decided to not make any admissions to the PG courses run by them. It then appears that there was an out-of-court arrangement between the institutions as also the candidates, whereby it was decided that each candidate would pay approximately 45,000 per year during the block period in addition to the fee which had been fixed by the Commission. Not only this, it also appears that the candidates had undertaken that they would abide by the decision of the Court in the batch of petitions, which were pending. The aforementioned agreement was also recorded by this Court in its order, dated 9'^ of July, 2020.

¶796

Be that as it may, we hold that G.O.Ms.No.56, dated 29.05.2020 issued by the Health Medical and Family Welfare (C1) Department ISi; unsustainable in law. The same is accordingly set aside. The commission iIS directed to undertake the exercise of fee fixation to examine the proposed fee structures individually in all the cases and pass orders thereupon within a period of two (2) months. In case the Commission wishes to disagree with the fee proposed in regard to any head, an opportunity would be given to the concerned institution to seek its view on the same before final orders are passed, which should be reasoned.

¶797

¶798

We make it clear that in case the Commission increases the fee structure of any of the colleges, the same would entitle such of the petitioner colleges to claim the balance fee from the candidates who are either undergoing the course or have even completed the courses, as per the

¶799

¶800

HCJ & RRRJ. WP 9871 2020 & batch

¶801

/ /■

¶802

undertakings submitted by them. However, we leave the^{collegesfreeto}

¶803

decide whether they would proceed to claim such additional^fee.

¶804

The petitions are disposed of accordingly. No order^astocosts.

¶805

Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand^closed.
