Jaya Gokul Educational Trust vs Commnr. & Secy. Government Higher ...

The Supreme Court held that the refusal of the Kerala Government to grant permission for establishing a self-financing Engineering College was arbitrary and unjustified, violating principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized that the AICTE's conditional approval, as per its regulations dated 30.1.1994, should have been duly considered by the State Government. The Court reinstated the Single Judge's order, directing the Government to reconsider the appellant's application for establishing the college, thereby upholding the appellant's right to establish the institution under the relevant educational regulations.
