2019 for cancelling the recognition accorded to the college. The writ petition was dismissed by me on 22.12.2022 granting liberty to the petitioner to move this Court for any other relief.

photographs enclosed at page No.46 of the typed set of papers. Two sets containing two thousand rupee notes is shown kept on the table of a college staff. This by itself may not be proof to show that the petitioner had paid a sum of Rs.4,50,000/- as caution deposit. The writ Court cannot be called upon to undertake a detailed investigation into facts. The material on record is not sufficient to come to any definite conclusion that caution deposit of Rs.4,50,000/- was paid by the petitioner to the college management. As regards the refund of the course fee, I find merit in the contention of the counsel for the college management that since the petitioner was not dismissed by the college and since the petitioner had undergone the course, the question of making refund will not arise at all. I am not in a position to grant any relief to the petitioner.
6. The Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs.
