Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of the establishment of a self-financing Engineering College by a trust, which had received conditional approval from the AICTE under its regulations dated 30.1.1994. The Court held that the refusal of the Kerala Government to grant permission was unjustified, as the appellant had fulfilled the necessary conditions for affiliation. The Court quashed the Division Bench's order and directed the Government to reconsider the application for establishing the college, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the AICTE's guidelines and the need for timely decisions by the authorities.
