    States can regulate pvt college fees: SC
    Credits:
  • The Apex Court has ruled that the State has the authority to regulate private professional colleges as a means to spread education and check commercialization.

    The court said that the right to establish and administer a private unaided education institution is not absolute but subject to regulatory powers of the state.

    A regulatory framework for education is necessary in any welfare economy.

    What are the petitioners' claims?
    Credits:
  • The colleges had contended that the law violated their fundamental rights guaranteed under Article 19(1)(g) of the Indian Constitution.

    Article 19(1)(g) allows anyone to practice any profession or carry on any occupation, trade or business.

    The petitioners said that according to the 11-bench judgement of Supreme Court in the TMA Pai Foundation case, the right to administer an education institution is recognised as 'occupation'.

    Excessive reservation?

  • The Supreme Court added that a law to have 50% share in management seats does not violate the right of autonomy of these institutions.

    Nor does holding CET (Common Entrance Tests) by the state.

    Similarly, the regulation of fees by the state is necessary for ensuring that fees "does not have the element of profiteering and also that no capitation fee etc. is charged."
