                                       Kumari T. P. Roshana and Another

                                Civil Miscellaneous Petition No. 6945 of 1981

                                                      20.04.1981

                                                        ORDER

After hearing learned counsel it seems to us desirable to modify the terms of the direction contained
in the judgment of this Court dated January 17, 1979 [State of Kerala v. T.P. Roshana, (1979) 1 SCC
572 (Court's directions in para 44, page 589)] requiring the universities to draw up a uniform
curriculum and a common examination system and allied matters. It appears that the universities
concerned have made a serious attempt to comply with the direction but the they do not find it
possible to make full compliance because, it is said, local conditions governing the two universities
prevent them from doing so. Perhaps having regard to the peculiar conditions governing the
working of each university and the needs which they are intended to satisfy it is not possible to
achieve the result intended by the Order of this Court. In the circumstances we think it appropriate
to relax the rigidity of the direction made by this court, and for the original Order we substitute the
Order that the two universities shall, to the extent reasonably possible, draw up a uniform
curriculum and arrange for a common examination system in order to reduce the inequality (where
the removal of complete inequality is not possible) between the students belonging to one university
or the other within the State.
