said judgment is reproduced as under:- “Private education is one of the most dynamic and fastest growing segments of post-secondary education at the turn of the twenty –first century. A combination of
unprecedented demand for access to higher education and the inability or unwillingness of government to provide the necessary support has brought private higher education to the forefront.
