HC orders issue of notice to Centre, UGC- 3-Jul-2012
Madurai: The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court ordered issue of notice to the Centre and UGC, among others, while admitting a petition seeking to quash two amendments brought about by a senate resolution of the Gandhigram Rural Institute, a Deemed University,near Dindigul.
The amendments relate to approving the rules passed at the University Senate.
While the existing rules stipulated that the rules made by the Senate should be approved by the Centre,the amendments stipulated that the Board of Management had powers to frame the rules of the Institute and there was no necessity for getting central approval,which is the characteristic of Deemed Universities run by private trust.
The amendments were a blatant violation of the New UGC Regulations 2010, the petitioner S Rajendran, a former senate member, said.
Similarly the Government of India, as funding agency, was the ultimate controlling authority, of the Deemed university. But as per the new amendment, the government would not have any control, he submitted.
Justice K.Venkataraman ordered issue of notice returnable within two weeks to the Centre,UGC and District Registrar of Societies.
