Section:
(a) Educational institution--- ----Policy, disciplinary and administrative matters of an educational institution---Interference by Courts---Courts must sparingly interfere in the affairs of academic institutions, therefore, it is best to leave the disciplinary, administrative and policy matters of educational institutions to the professional expertise of the people running them, unless of course there is a blatant violation of any of the fundamental rights or the law.
