The Kerala High Court quashed the letters/circulars issued by universities directing the presidential system of election for students' unions, holding that these directions lacked statutory basis and were invalid. The Court allowed the affiliated colleges the freedom to adopt an election system of their choice, emphasizing the need for administrative autonomy. The Supreme Court later addressed the broader implications of students' union elections and appointed a committee to recommend reforms, raising constitutional questions about the implementation of such recommendations by judicial order.
