Any prosecution on behalf of the State is always conducted by the Public Prosecutor.

question markDiscrimination Practice in PhD Eligibility Criteria 3 Response(s)
Dear Client, If you believe that the double standard in Ph.D. eligibility criteria at the premier institution constitutes a substantial breach of fairness and equality, you might consider pursuing a PIL. However, there are a few factors to consider: Standing to File PIL: Generally, PILs can be filed by any individual or organization seeking to address a public interest issue. You would need to establish that you have a genuine concern for the public interest and that you are not filing the PIL for personal gain. Proof of Public Interest: You need to demonstrate that the issue affects a larger section of society and is not just a personal grievance. The disparity in eligibility criteria might need to be linked to a broader issue of fairness and equality in educational institutions. Court's Discretion: The court has the discretion to admit or reject a PIL. They will assess whether the issue raised is of public importance and whether the petitioner has a genuine concern. Alternative Avenues: Before filing a PIL, you might want to explore other avenues for redressal, such as engaging with the institution through official channels or collaborating with other affected parties. Thank You

Hi, The Hon'ble SC in the n the matter of Dr. Janet Jeyapaul v. SRM University & Others has held that private unaided educational institution do serve public function, and hence the Trust can said to perform public function and hence the land cannot be allotted to do any other public purpose. Further, the proposed acquisition of the land for the construction of the road will duly hamper the ability of the institution to perform its public function and hence it should not be allowed. The state cannot acquire the educational institutions land, without making alternate and suitable arrangements.
