YASHPAL vs STATE OF CHHATTISGARH .

The Supreme Court held that the Chhattisgarh Niji Kshetra Vishwavidyalaya (Sthapana Aur Viniyaman) Adhiniyam, 2002, is unconstitutional as it allows the establishment of private universities without adequate regulatory oversight, violating Article 21 of the Constitution. The Court emphasized that the indiscriminate issuance of notifications by the State Government to establish universities undermines the quality of education and the authority of the University Grants Commission. Consequently, the Court quashed the notifications issued under Section 5 of the Act, asserting the need for proper infrastructure and adherence to educational standards.
