Justice Ashok B. Hinchigeri made these observations orally while hearing a petition filed by Madhukar G. Angur, director of Alliance Business School Ltd and the first vice-chancellor of Alliance University. “What has happened to the 7,500 students of the university? The university is meant for students and not for the management or bureaucracy. Ultimately, students are the consumers in an education system and their interest needs to be protected first,” the court observed when the government counsel mentioned the legal battle. The petitioner contended that the government had no jurisdiction to hold such an enquiry as the Alliance University Act does not give the government any such power.
