19/02 2026 AD-22/24 266312 NANDY (DO) In the High Court at Calcutta Constitutional Writ Jurisdiction Appellate Side WPA 2961 of 2026 Dr. B.R. Ambedkar College (B.Ed. Section) Vs. The Baba Saheb Ambedkar Education University & Ors. Mr. Anindya Bose, Advocate Mr. Subhayu Das, Advocate Mr. Mridul Biswas, Advocate Ms. Raina Das, Advocate …...for the Petitioner Mr. Parashar Baidya, Advocate ……for the Respondent Nos. 1 to 3 (University) 1. Supplementary affidavit, as filed by the petitioner, be kept with the record. 2. The petitioner is a self-financed college imparting degrees for B.Ed. courses. There are 74 candidates who were successful and had been admitted by the college. 3. However, the admission and registration of these students was not permitted by the University for non- transmission of data by the college. This was a completely circumstantial default, not attributable to any of the parties. The default arose, inter alia, on the ground of internal disputes between existing trustees of the college, who had been debarred from acting as such by a decree passed by a Civil Court of competent jurisdiction. 4. Pursuant to this, the University had re-affiliated the college and granted re-affiliation only on 30.10.2025. It was this period of approximately one-and-a-half months, being the period of de-affiliation, that the college missed the process of completing the formalities for the valid admission of these 74 students. P a g e | 2 5. Mr. Baidya, learned Advocate, appearing for the respondents, submits that the respondents are not at fault for default in the admission to the students not being given. 6. Likewise, Mr. Bose, learned Advocate for the petitioner has also submitted that the petitioner cannot be faulted for this situation. 7. The overbearing and overpowering issue is not the fault of either of these warring parties, but the well- being and welfare of these 74 students, who are otherwise entitled to get admission into the college. 8. In view of the fact that these students are otherwise qualified and entitled, I direct the petitioner to present the credentials of these 74 students to respondent no. 3 by 02.03.2026. 9. The respondents will consider the requisite credentials and grant admission and registration to these 74 students in the petitioner college by 20.03.2026. 10. Since this entire process may entail some costs, again not attributable to anybody but the circumstances, I direct the petitioner to put in a sum of ₹50,000/- towards meeting the cost of this entire process. 11. With these afore-stated directions, WPA 2961 of 2026 is disposed of. (Reetobroto Kumar Mitra, J.) P a g e | 3
