Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal filed by Chintamani Shikshan Prasarak Mandal, setting aside the Bombay High Court's order that quashed the State Government's permission to establish a college at Ghugus. The Court noted that the University had subsequently prepared a perspective plan under Section 82(1) of the Maharashtra Universities Act, 1994, which included Ghugus as a location for a college. The Court held that the earlier decision of the High Court was unjustified as the college had been functioning for nearly ten years, thus ensuring the continuity of its operations.
