Policy Decision': Kerala High Court Dismisses Appeal Against Removal Of Biochemistry And Microbiology Streams From Paramedical Courses

The Kerala High Court dismissed an appeal challenging the removal of courses in Biochemistry and Microbiology as part of a policy decision affecting paramedical courses. The court upheld the decision, stating that such policy decisions fall within the domain of educational institutions and are not justiciable unless they are shown to be arbitrary or malafide. The petitioners argued that the removal of these courses would adversely affect students' educational opportunities and career prospects. However, the court found no grounds to interfere with the policy decision, emphasizing the autonomy of educational institutions in shaping their academic programs.
