I.I.T.T. College Of Engineering vs State Of H.P. & Ors

The appellant, a technical institution established by a registered society, challenged the refusal of AICTE and the State of Himachal Pradesh to grant extension of approval for academic sessions. The core issue pertains to the regulatory powers of the AICTE in maintaining standards of technical education and the institution's right to operate. The Court examined whether the denial of approval based on an expert committee's findings was legally sustainable.
