HC has told AICTE to not take action against varsities for not responding to its approval notification. 



Madras HC

Chennai: The Madras high court has directed the AICTE not to take any punitive action against certain deemed universities in the state for not responding to its notification relating to approval.

Justice R.Mahadevan gave the directive on a batch of petitions from Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) in Vellore and others, which sought to declare a public notice issued by the AICTE in 2017 for approval for 2018-19 as unconstitutional and ultra vires of the UGC Act and consequently declare the same as inapplicable to them. Kandavadivel Doraisamy, counsel for VIT, submitted that the AICTE has released a public notice inviting applications for approval from all existing andproposed technical institutions for conducting technical programmes/courses including course of management for the academic session 2018-19.

In the notification it was specifically stated that institutions-deemed to be universities-seeking approval for the first time from AICTE (incompliance to the order dated November 3, 2017 of the Supreme Court) shall submit an application as a new one.

The Supreme Court judgment was applicable only to the institutions offering technical course degrees awarded by open and distance learning mode. Nowhere it was stated in the judgment that every deemed to be university should get the approval from the AICTE, he added.

Senior counsel P.Wilson, appearing for Veltech Deemed University, submitted that the petitioner university has been established under section 3 of the UGC Act and all the provisions of this Act shall apply to such institution as if it were a University within the meaning of clause (f) of section 2 of the AICTE and UGC Acts.

After declared as a deemed to be university, the petitioner institution has been functioning under the guidelines of the UGC and every year the minute book which contains the entire conduct of petitioner institution has been sent to the UGC. Therefore, the overall performance of the institute was being monitored
annually by the UGC and the HRD Ministry regarding its activities. Therefore, the AICTE has no power to seek its approval by the petitioner institute as a new one, he added.

Anna univ shrinks exam schedule to give more time for placements

Ram.Sundaram@timesgroup.com

Chennai : In an effort to give engineering students more than a month to prepare for campus placements, admission tests to join institutions of higher education and undergo internships, Anna University has compressed the semester exam schedule.

In the past, exam dates were spread over two months with a gap of more than four days or a week at times. This year, the controller of examinations has streamlined the schedule, reducing the interval between two exams to three days or less for most streams. A notification released on Monday said the semester exams would begin on April 23 and end on May 30.

While students who joined BE, B Tech, and B Arch course in the 2017-18 academic year, will take their semester exams from May 16, those for second, third and final year are scheduled to begin on April 23.

“Students are now given ample time to prepare for placements or undergo internships and industrial training,” controller of examinations G V Uma told TOI.

Special efforts were made to prepare a compressed schedule for final year students since some of them would need more time to prepare for admission tests to join institutions of higher education, both locally and globally, she said. The stream-wise schedule for more than six lakh undergraduate students in 560 affiliated colleges has been uploaded on http://aucoe.annauniv.edu.

PG exam timetable yet to be released

The timetable for postgraduate students is yet to be released.

On the flip side, however, some students felt they might need more time to prepare for core papers. “Though an interval of one or two days is enough for most papers, specialised subjects with new and complex concepts like ‘strength of materials’, ‘theory of machines’ need more time,” said a mechanical engineering student from a government college in Coimbatore on condition of anonymity.
Med scam: CJI paves way for removal of HC judge

Dhananjay.Mahapatra@timesgroup.com

New Delhi: Finding substance in allegations against the Allahabad high court’s Justice S N Shukla related to the medical admission scam, a threejudge in-house committee has recommended his removal to CJI Dipak Misra.

Acting on the committee’s recommendations and as per paragraph 7(i) of the in-house procedure, the CJI advised Justice Shukla to either resign or take voluntary retirement. However, Justice Shukla refused to do either. Left with no option, the CJI advised the HC chief justice to withdraw judicial work from Justice Shukla with immediate effect, a step which can clear the way for his removal and for the CBI to register a case against him in connection with the medical admission scam. Justice Shukla, while heading a division bench, allegedly defied restraint orders passed by a CJI-led bench last year to permit private colleges to admit students for the 2017-18 academic year. Two complaints, including one from the advocate general of the state, were received by the CJI on September 1, 2017 and he set up an inhouse panel comprising Madras HC CJ Indira Banerjee, Sikkim HC CJ S K Agnihotri and MP HC Justice P K Jaiswal.



Oppn keen on House debate on SC friction

The controversy over the Supreme Court appears set for escalation, with political parties, including a ruling NDA ally, seeking discussion in the Parliament on issues emanating from the public outburst of the four seniormost judges of the apex court, reports Subodh Ghildiyal. Akali Dal MP Naresh Gujral has asked the government to allocate time to discuss the crisis.P 14

‘ Judge had disgraced the values of judicial life ’

Two complaints, including one from the advocate general of the state, was received by the CJI on September 1 last year and he set up an in-house committee comprising Madras HC CJ Indira Banerjee, Sikkim HC CJ S K Agnihotri and MP HC Justice P K Jaiswal.

The inquiry committee said Justice Shukla had “disgraced the values of judicial life, acted in a manner unbecoming of a judge”, lowered the “majesty, dignity and credibility of his office” and acted in breach of his oath of office.

As per paragraph 7(ii) of the in-house procedure, the CJI will now recommend initiation of removal proceedings against Justice Shukla. Paragraph 7(ii) provides, “In case the judge expresses unwillingness to resign or seek voluntary retirement, the chief justice of the high court concerned should be advised by the Chief Justice of India not to allocate any judicial work to the judge concerned and the President and the Prime Minister shall be intimated that this had been done because allegations against the judge were found by the committee to be so serious as to warrant initiation of proceedings for removal.”

Once the CJI writes to the President and the PM recommending removal of an HC judge, the Rajya Sabha chairperson, who is also the Vice-President, appoints a threejudge inquiry panel in consultation with the CJI under the Judges (Enquiry) Act, 1968, to look into the allegations examined by the inhouse committee. This inquiry panel will examine evidence and record finding which will form the basis for whether or not removal motion be debated in Rajya Sabha.

Paul Rajasekaran, said the dealer failed to produce any profoma invoice, estimate bill, details of spare parts and bill or repairs bill before this Forum. They had only produced a bill for the alleged repair of the vehicle to the tune of Rs 1,64,099. Hence the complainant was not liable to pay amount to the agency.

Considering the facts and circumstances, the dealer shall deliver the car to the complainant immediately without making a claim since the vehicle is covered under warranty period. The bench imposed a fine of Rs 25,000 on the agency for causing her mental agony.
