Cuttack:
Orissa high court
will hear arguments on May 1 regarding construction of a vending zone by
Cuttack Municipal Corporation
(CMC) adjacent to
Madhusudan Law University
's second campus at Jobra. The PIL filed by the university council officials, including president Sravani Sahoo, challenges the ongoing construction, citing potential disruption to campus access and traffic flow.
During Tuesday's hearing, a division bench comprising Chief Justice Harish Tandon and Justice MS Raman declined to issue an interim status quo order before hearing CMC's response. The court has directed CMC commissioner to file a reply before the next hearing.
The petitioners, represented by advocates Prasanna Nanda and Purusottam Chuli, argued that the vending zone's location along the northern boundary wall would obstruct the planned main entrance and cause traffic congestion on the service road.
The second campus development includes plans for a 300-seat women's hostel, classrooms for the 5-year Integrated LLB course, a gymnasium-cum-auditorium, and a guest house. The university also intends to beautify the surrounding area with landscaping and plantation.
Madhusudan Law University, currently having 1,020 students, offers various law programmes including 5-year Integrated LLB, 3-year LLB, and LLM courses at its main campus near College Square. The court's decision on this matter could significantly impact both the university's expansion plans and the municipal corporation's vendor rehabilitation efforts.

Law Paper Revaluation To Cost 1/3rd Of Tuition Fees
New Delhi: A newly-introduced re-evaluation facility at Delhi University's Faculty of Law has triggered student opposition — not for its existence, but for its cost. DU will charge Rs 2,000 per answer sheet for re-evaluation from LLB students, nearly one-third of the faculty's annual tuition fee and double the amount charged from other disciplines. Until now, law students did not have the option to get answer sheet re-evaluated, with only re-totalling of marks available. In Nov last year, DU had announced that it was planning to extend re-evaluation facilities to professional courses like law, where such provisions were not available. The move was welcomed at the time, but the pricing, which was recently approved, has left many disillusioned. "This is the first time LLB students will be able to apply for re-evaluation, but at a rate that is simply unaffordable for most," a fifth-semester law student said, requesting anonymity. "How can students be expected to pay Rs 2,000 per paper when our total annual fee is just about Rs 6,000? This will deter many from exercising a basic academic right." Complaints of alleged errors in paper checking have been frequent in Delhi University, with a large number of students relying on re-evaluation as an option to be sure. In May, several fifth-semester students at the Campus Law Centre reported being wrongly marked as 'failed' in their taxation law paper. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Đăng ký Undo According to DU's financial estimates for 2025-26, the university earned over Rs 127.8 crore from examination-related fees. The dean and head of the Faculty of Law, Prof Anju Vali Tikoo, said, "None of the professional courses except law have the revaluation scheme … Only in law is the revaluation allowed, which is approved by statutory authorities of the university." According to the fee structure, a total of Rs 6,580 is charged as tuition fees from students at the university for a two-semester academic year. The decision to set the re-evaluation fee at Rs 2,000 was reported in a recent meeting of the Standing Committee on Academic Affairs, approved by vice-chancellor Yogesh Singh exercising his emergency powers. As per the minutes of the meeting, 10 members submitted dissent. For students enrolled in other undergraduate programmes, the re-evaluation fee is Rs 1,000 per paper while rechecking or re-totalling — limited to recounting of marks — costs Rs 750. These charges were last revised in 2023 and apply uniformly across disciplines, except for law and a few other professional programmes which are gradually being brought under the same rules. Calling the fee "exploitative", DUSU vice-president Bhanu Pratap Singh demanded an immediate rollback. "Charging students almost one-third of their fees for revaluation of one paper, the need for which arises due to arbitrary paper checking by the examiners, is akin to 'loot'," he said, adding, "It discourages students from seeking their right to get their copies checked satisfactorily."
