Chintamani Shikshan Prasarak Mandal vs State Of Maharashtra & Ors

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal filed by Chintamani Shikshan Prasarak Mandal, setting aside the Bombay High Court's order which quashed the State Government's permission to establish a college at Ghugus. The Court noted that the State Government had exercised its discretionary power under Section 82(5) of the Maharashtra Universities Act, 1994, and found that the University had subsequently prepared a perspective plan that included Ghugus for college establishment. The Court held that the functioning of the college should not be adversely affected, thus dismissing the writ petition filed by the respondent.
