Common Order

1. These writ petitions are filed questioning the levy of “Common Services Fee‟ for grant/renewal of temporary and permanent affiliation to the Petitioners-Colleges as illegal and arbitrary.

2. As the issue is common in all the writ petitions, a common order is being passed in all the writ petitions.

3. Petitioners are Professional Colleges offering courses in various branches i.e. B.Tech, and other Post-graduation of M.Tech and M.C.A courses and were recognized and affiliated to Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University located across the State i.e. Ananthapur, Kakinada, Gurajada and Vizianagaram. Some of the Petitioners are autonomous Colleges.

4. Pursuant to the judgments of the Hon‟ble Supreme Court in P.A.Inamdar v. State of Maharashtra ((2004) 8 SCC 139), the Admission and Fee Regulatory Commission (AFRC) was established vide G.O.Ms.No.6 dated 08.01.2007 under the provisions of A.P Educational Institutions (Regulation of Admission and Prohibition of Capitation Fee) Act, 1983. The said Commission was intended for determining tuition and development fee payable by the students to the Colleges and ensure that the Colleges do not indulge in profiteering.

5. In the course of time, the State Government enacted the A.P.Higher Education Regulatory and Monitoring Commission Act, 2019 and Rules thereunder (for short “Act and Rules, 2019‟) vide G.O.Ms.No.49 dated 11.10.2019 to monitor and regulate the fee in educational institutions offering higher education. Though the definition of “fee” under the AFRC Rules as well 2019 Rules remained constant, the applicability of the Act and Rules, 2019 was explicitly extended to Universities also. This is apparent on the reading of the definition of “Higher Educational Institution” at Section 2(5) and power and functions of the Commission under Section 9(b) of the Act 2019 which are as under:

                  "Section 2(5): Higher Educational Institution" means any institution of education post the secondary school level (Grade 12) that awards a degree, diploma, certificate or other academic distinction at any level in any field or discipline;

                  “Section 9(b): The Commission shall have the power to monitor and regulate Fee in Higher Educational Institutions in accordance with the rules, guidelines and procedures, prescribed for the purpose”

5. Be that as it may, pursuant to the recommendations of the Commission, fee was being fixed by the State Government from time to time during the regime of AFRC as well under the Act, 2019 vide notifications. The notifications spawned litigations before this Court on majority of occasions.

6. The issue in these cases is that the Respondent-University had issued notices vide e-mails to the Petitioners-Colleges calling for payment of Common Services Fee for renewing affiliations. It is this levy of Common Services Fee that is questioned in these writ petitions.

7. Heard Sri Sri Vijay Mathukumilli and M.R.K Chakravarthy learned counsel for the Petitioners, learned Advocate General on behalf of the University and Sri Vivekananda Virupaksha, learned counsel for APHERMC.

8. During the regime of AFRC, G.O.Ms.No.76 dated 13.8.2010 was issued for the block period 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2012-13 for colleges offering B.tech courses. As per the said G.O., Rs.1,500/- was to be collected and remitted to the University towards the Common Services Fee. Apart from Common Services Fee, one time admission fee of Rs.500/- and Rs.1,000/- per annum towards special services per student was to be collected by the Colleges and remitted to the University.

9. For the block period 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16, G.O.Ms.No.57 Higher Education (EC/A2) Department, dated 06.07.2013 was issued for Colleges offering B.tech courses. As per the said G.O., Rs. 1,500/- was to be collected and remitted to the University towards the Common Services Fee. Apart from Common Services Fee, a one-time admission fee of Rs.500/- and Rs. 1,000/- per annum towards special services per student was to be collected by the Colleges and remitted to the University.

10. The private autonomous colleges questioned the requirement to pay Common Services Fee to the University for the block period 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 as no service is being rendered by the University. After examining the guidelines for granting autonomy and the services rendered by the University, the Division Bench of the common High Court at Hyderabad rejected the plea of autonomous colleges and dismissed the Writ Petitions in CMR College of Engineering and Technology and others v. The Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (Hyderabad) ((2016) 6 ALT 477 (DB)). The relevant observations at paragraphs 42 and 43 are extracted below;

                  “42….It is not in dispute that whole year the University supposed to have such department/wing not only for conducting convocation functions but to maintain the entire record and to see that every student gets degree certificate irrespective of the fact whether he attends graduation function. The fee of Rs.600/- collected from each student is for actual issuing original certificate and may be to cover the expenditure for conducting convocation function. It may be true that autonomous-colleges conduct examination and may be rendering some other examination related services but that by itself is not sufficient to hold that the University has no role to play or does not render any examination related services to the autonomous colleges. Even the other services mentioned in the table, in our opinion, the University continues to render to the autonomous colleges in some or the other form, directly or indirectly, such as imparting training to teachers, holding meetings, access to publications, maintaining website etc.”

                  “43….Even from bare perusal of the guidelines for autonomous colleges, we find that the University continues or suppose to render services like making use of expertise of the University Departments to frame their curricula, devise methods of teaching, examination and evaluation, etc. The parent University, under the guidelines, is obligated to accept the methodologies of teaching, examination, evaluation and the course curriculum of autonomous colleges also. The Universities are also expected to help all institutions and colleges, within its jurisdictional limits to develop their academic programmes, improve the faculty and to provide necessary guidance by participating in the deliberations of the different bodies of colleges. The university plays its role in permitting the colleges to issue their own provisional, migration and other certificates; to do everything possible to foster the spirit of autonomy; to ensure that degrees/diplomas/certificates issued indicate the name of the college; to depute various nominees of the University to serve in various committees of the autonomous colleges and to get feedback on their functioning and to create separate wings wherever necessary to facilitate smooth working of the autonomous colleges. Every service that the University is supposed to render even under the guidelines is either examination related or academic audit related or curriculum related or development related or staff training related. It cannot be stated that the University does not render any services to the autonomous colleges. The appellant-colleges are not right in contending that they are entitled to retain the fees collected by them from the students towards common services.”

11. After the advent of Act, 2019, “college-specific fee‟ recommendations were made by the Andhra Pradesh Higher Education Regulatory and Monitoring Commission (“APHERMC‟) under the Act and accepting the recommendations, the State Government issued notifications from time to time fixing tuition fee and other fees payable by the students pursuing provisional courses.

12. The first of it was G.O.Ms.No.15, Higher Education (E.C) Department, dated 24.03.2020 for the academic year 2019-2020 for the Private Un-Aided Professional Institutions offering B.Tech. courses. The said Colleges were also permitted to collect an amount of Rs.2,000/- as a one-time payment per student at the time of admission towards Admission/Registration/Recognition fee. Out of the said amount, Rs.500/- shall be remitted to the concerned University and the remaining Rs.1,500/- shall be retained by the institution. Apart from that, an amount of Rs.1,850/- per annum per student was also permitted to be collected towards Common Services rendered by the University. The relevant portion of the G.O. reads as under:

                  1) The fee structure for (282) Private Un-Aided Professional Institutions offering B.Tech. courses in the State of Andhra Pradesh is appended as Annexure to this order.

                  2) The Private Un-Aided Engineering Colleges are permitted to collect:-

                  a) An amount of Rs.2000/- as one-time payment per student at the time of admission towards Admission/Registration/Recognition fees and out of the said amount of Rs.2000/-, Rs.500/- shall be remitted by the institution to the concerned University and the remaining amount of Rs.1500/- shall be retained by the institution for meeting different administrative expenditures.

                  b) An amount of Rs. 1,850/- per annum per student towards common services rendered by the University to the College as mentioned below and such amount collected by the College shall be remitted to the concerned University.

13. Common Services Fee under this notification was called in question in W.P.No.22528 of 2023 and batch. The Coordinate Bench, after referring to a Division Bench judgment in CMR College of Engineering and Technology (2 supra), dismissed the writ petitions vide order dated 03.05.2024.

14. For the academic year 2020-21 to 2022-23, the State Government issued G.O.Ms.No.48, Higher Education (E.C) Department, dated 23.12.2020 for the Private Un-Aided Professional Institutions offering B.Tech., B.Arch and Marine Engineering. In the said notification, tuition fee, affiliation fee and Common Services Fee were included in the fee collected by the institution, but no quantified amount was provided for Common Services Fee as mentioned in G.O.Ms No.76, G.O.Ms No.57 and G.O.Ms.No.15 referred supra. The relevant portion of the G.O. is extracted hereunder:

                  4. In exercise of the powers conferred under Rule 8 of the A.P. Higher Education Regulatory and Monitoring Commission Rules, 2019 issued in G.O.Ms.No.49, Higher Education (UE) Department, dated 11.10.2019 as amended subsequently from time to time and in pursuance of the resolutions of the A.P. Higher Education Regulatory and Monitoring Commission in their Meeting held on 19.12.2020, the Commission recommended the fee structure for Private Un-Aided Professional Institutions offering B.Tech., B.Arch. and Marine Engineering in the State of Andhra Pradesh.

                  5. Further, in exercise of the powers conferred under Section 7 of Andhra Pradesh Educational Institutions (Regulation of Admissions and Prohibition of Capitation Fee) Act, 1983 (Act No.5 of 1983), Government hereby notify the Fee as mentioned in the Annexures appended to this Order for the block period 2020-21 to 2022-23, subject to following directions:

                  a. The fee is an all-inclusive annual fee, including like tuition fee, affiliation fee, cost of identity card, medical fee, inter college/inter university sports, games & cultural meet fee, computer/internet fee, College magazine and student activities, student health care scheme, student welfare fund, study tour, alumni fund, sports and games fee, examination fee including stationery, maintenance and amenities fee, extracurricular activities fee, development fee, Recognition fee, Common Services fee and other recurring expenditure;

                  b. The same fee shall continue for the students admitted during the block period of 2020-21 to 2022-23 till they complete the course;

                  c. The institutions whose affiliations are not extended by the affiliating Universities for the academic year 2020-21 are not entitled to collect any fee;

                  d. The institution shall not charge either directly or indirectly any other amount over and above the fee fixed in the ANNEXURE-I(B.Tech), ANNEXURE-II (B.Arch) and ANNEXURE-III (Marine Engineering). If any other amount is charged under any other head or guise i.e., donations, etc. the same would amount to charging of capitation fee and in that case the institution shall be liable to be prosecuted under Section 9 of Andhra Pradesh Educational Institutions (Regulation of Admissions and Prohibition of Capitation Fee) Act, 1983 (Act No. 5 of 1983) apart from imposing appropriate penalty under the APHERMC Act, 2019 and the APHERMC Rules, 2019 as amended subsequently from time to time;

15. A reading of the above discloses that no specific amounts were mentioned towards UCS, unlike the quantified amount of Rs. 1,850/- specified in G.O.Ms.No.15, dated 24.03.2020 and G.Os for preceding years as mentioned above. At the same time, the fee specified for each College under Annexure-I remained constant vis-a-vis G.O.Ms.No.15, dated 24.03.2020.

16. Though the fee structure for the block period 2023-2026 is not a subject in issue in this batch of cases, just to complete the narration, were subject matter of W.P.Nos.32909 of 2022 and batch. Taking note of the submissions, a Coordinate Bench of this Court disposed of the writ petitions and remitted the issue to the APHERMC to determine the fees for the period 2023-26. In W.A.No.182 of 2024 and batch filed thereon, the Division Bench of this Court elaborately considered the provisions of the Act, 2019 and Rules and modified the directions of the learned single Judge and ordered the Commission to determine the fees in accordance with Rule 8(4) of the Andhra Pradesh Higher Education Regulatory and Monitoring Commission Rules, 2019. Till such time, G.O.Ms.No.17, Higher Education (R.M) Department, dated 07.07.2024 was issued as an interim measure.

17. Coming back to the facts of this case, the University issued mails to the Colleges calling upon them to pay Common Services Fee for the years up to 2023- 24. The said mails are the trigger for these writ petitions.

18. As mentioned above, there is no specific mention of the quantum of amount payable towards Common Service Fee vide G.O.Ms.No.48, dated 23.12.2020 unlike G.O.Ms.No.15, dated 24.03.2020 and G.Os for preceding years as mentioned above where specific amounts were mentioned and permitted to be collected from each student. In the opinion of this Court, this is an error in the notification, and, in the absence of quantification of the Common Services Fee to be collected from the students or paid to the University, the University could not have demanded payment from the Colleges for the block period covered by G.O.Ms.No.48, dated 23.12.2020.

19. Further, under G.O.Ms.No.48, dated 23.12.2020, there is no mention of permission to collect Common Service Fee from the students as explicitly granted in G.O.Ms.No.15, dated 24.03.2020. On the contrary, under clause 5(d) of the G.O.Ms.No.48 as extracted above, restricts colleges from collecting any amount other than the tuition fee either directly or indirectly above the fee fixed. The clause 5(d) of the G.O. further states that if any other amount is charged by the Colleges, the same would amount to charging of capitation fee and in that case the institution shall be liable to be prosecuted under Section 9 of Andhra Pradesh Educational Institutions (Regulation of Admissions and Prohibition of Capitation Fee) Act, 1983 (Act No. 5 of 1983) apart from imposing appropriate penalty under the APHERMC Act, 2019 and the APHERMC Rules, 2019 as amended subsequently from time to time.

20. To further compound the issue, the tuition fee structure for the Colleges fixed vide G.O.Ms.No.15, dated 24.03.2020 for the period 2019-20 and G.O.Ms.No.48, dated 23.12.2020 for the period 2020-21 to 2022-23 remained constant.

21. In the absence of any explicit quantification of the Common Services Fee with permission to collect from students and without revision of the tuition fee, calling upon the Petitioners-Colleges to pay Common Services Fee for the block period covered by G.O.Ms.No.48 for the period 2020-21 to 2022-23 is unsustainable.

22. At the same time, it is to be noted that the error committed in the recommendations by the fee monitoring commission and consequential G.O.Ms.No.48,dated 23.12.2020 have caused enormous loss to the Respondent-University. Dehors the Act of 2019 regulating fees, the Respondent-University established pursuant to the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological Universities Act, 2008 (for brevity JNTU Act, 2008) had power to prescribe and collect the fees as well as examination fees under Section 3(4)(2)( xviii) and Section 25(1)(j) of the Act and this power was not exercised in view of the Act of 2019.

23. As the error in the G.O.Ms.No.48, dated 23.12.2020 was committed by the State Government; the State Government alone is to be answerable for the lapse and shall be liable to pay the Respondent-University the shortfall in the Common Services Fee and admission fee, which is calculated @ per student. Considering the lapse of time, rather than again going back to Fee Monitoring Commission for determination of Common Services Fee, the fee as fixed in the G.O.Ms.No.15 i.e Rs.1,850/-towards common services plus Rs. 500/- towards admission fees per student may be remitted by the State Government to the University for the period covered by G.O.Ms.No.48 i.e 2020-21 to 2022-23.

24. The Petitioners-Colleges and other private unaided colleges, however, shall be liable to pay the Common Services Fee to the University for 2019-2020 as there was no dispute to the quantification of the fees @ per student and in the light of the judgement of this Court in W.P.No.22528 of 2023 and batch.

25. Before proceeding to the relief part, one aspect this Court finds odd is that the Common Services Fee was fixed at Rs.1,500/- apart from admission fee of Rs.500/- and special fee of Rs.1,000/- per student per annum in 2010. Against the concept of inflation, the special fee of Rs. 1,000/- is excluded and admission fee remained constant at Rs.500/- and the Common Services Fee marginally increased to Rs.1,850/- even in the academic year 2019-20. The University being a research and centre for academic excellence is being financially stifled and that would have a negative impact on innovation and intellectual progress. The Fee Regulatory Commission as well as the Government should adopt realistic fee and some leverage should be provided to the University to enable it to pursue the very idea of establishment of University i.e. Innovation, Research and Intellectual Progress.

26. Therefore, the writ petitions are disposed of with the following directions:

                  (i) The Petitioners-Colleges shall pay the amounts towards Common Services Fee for the academic years upto 2019-2020.

                  (ii) The Petitioners-Colleges are not liable to pay Common Services Fee for the block period covered by G.O.Ms.No.48 dated 23.12.2020.

                  (iii) The State Government shall forthwith reimburse Respondent-University the shortfall in the Common Services Fee of Rs.1,850/- plus Rs.500/- towards admission fee per student for the period covered by G.O.Ms.No.48 dated 23.12.2020 for the academic years 2020-21 to 2022-23.

                  (iii) No order as to costs.

As a sequel, pending applications, if any, shall stand closed.
