5 . It was argued that as long as the University has not framed any ordinance relating to procedure for recognition, as provided in Section 40(5) of the Cochin University Science and Technology Act ('the Act' for short), the University cannot insist payment of such fees every year; petitioner should have been given permanent recognition without compelling it to make payment every year from 2005 onwards; in the absence of ordinance relating to recognition of courses, the University has to follow the UGC (Affiliation of Colleges by Universities) Regulations, 2009, as amended in 2012. The petitioner has furnished Ext.P20 chart furnishing the rates of fee prevailing in the M.G University as well as other Universities in Kerala pointing out the incomparable high rate of fee charged by the University. According to the petitioner, the University should have granted permanent recognition to it, on completion of 5 years of the commencement of the course, in tune with the UGC Regulation. Learned Counsel for the petitioner relies on the judgment of this Court in Muslim Educational Society v. State of Kerala [2010 (3) KLT 357, Cochin College v. Ajith Kumar K. [2014 (4) Kerala series 532], Rungta Engg College v. Chhattisgarh Swami Vivekanand Technical University [(2015) 11 SCC 291] in support of her contentions. It is argued that insistence of recognition fee and inspection fee year to year right from 2005-06 is arbitrary. Pointing out that the committee conducting inspection every year raises trivial and irrelevant objections, the petitioner submits that the Government shall be directed to conduct the inspection in such cases as provided in Section 50 of the Act.
