The Supreme Court on Monday restrained the central government from derecognising 44 deemed universities for their questionable academic performance or poor infrastructure.
A bench of Justice Dalveer Bhandari and Justice AK Patnaik ordered status quo for various deemed universities on several law suits by the varsities challenging the government’s move to derecognise them.
“Nothing is going to happen to your institutions and your students till we dispose the matter,” observed Justice Bhandari while also issuing notices to all 44 universities separately to have their say in the matter.
The case was adjourned to March 9.
