The Issue
In a significant development, the Directorate of Higher Education (DHE), following the directives of the Hon’ble High Court in Writ Petition No. 11546/2025 (Mayur Suhas Garud vs. The Principal, ILS Law College & Ors.), has delivered a pivotal order revealing that ILS Law College has been collecting fees in an illegal and non-transparent manner under various undisclosed categories. This situation has resulted in an undue financial burden on the students.
Education, especially legal education that prepares the future guardians of the law, should be accessible and fair to all. Unfortunately, the practices adopted by ILS Law College have been opaque, putting students in a difficult position where they are forced to pay more than what is rightfully due. This issue highlights a severe lack of transparency and a breach of trust between the institute and its students.
The DHE’s ruling brings hope for justice to the affected students. However, there's a pressing need for immediate action to ensure that the refund process is completed without delay and that the institution adheres to transparent fee practices moving forward. This petition appeals to the Hon’ble Chief Justice of Bombay High Court and the Hon'ble Governor of Maharashtra to oversee this process and establish strict guidelines that will prevent future occurrences of such fee-related injustices.
The key demands from the student body include:
1. Immediate refund of all excess fees collected illegally, ensuring that every affected student receives their due compensation in a timely manner.
2. Institutionalization of transparent fee structures that are clearly communicated and approved by regulatory authorities before they are implemented.
3. Regular audits and checks by the Directorate of Higher Education to ensure ongoing adherence to these practices.
4. Creating a student grievance redressal mechanism within the institution to handle and resolve fee-related queries efficiently.
By signing this petition, you are joining hands with the students of ILS Law College in their fight for fairness and transparency. Your support is crucial in advocating for educational equity and justice. Let us work together to ensure that future students are not subjected to similar injustices and that education remains a sacred and undistorted quest for knowledge.
Sign this petition to hold ILS Law College accountable and to demand transparent and just educational practices!
