body2012
ORDER In view of the judgment of this Court in Maharshi Dayanand University vs. Surjeet Kaur, Supreme 2010 SC 586 : (2010) 5 Supreme 665 wherein this Court placing reliance on all earlier judgments has categorically held that education is not a conmmodity. Educational institutions are not providing any kind of service, therefore, in matter of admission, fees etc., there cannot be a question of deficiency of service. Such matters cannot be entertained by the Consumer Forum under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. In view of the above, we are not inclined to entertain the special leave petition. Thus, the Special Leave Petition is dismissed.
