VIPLAV SHARMA vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the Tandon Committee's report recommending the de-notification of 44 Deemed Universities, emphasizing that the procedures outlined in the UGC Act and the 2008 and 2010 Regulations were not adhered to. The Court noted that the UGC had previously found only two institutions lacking necessary requirements for Deemed University status. The Court held that the UGC should reassess the situation without being influenced by the Tandon Committee's findings, thereby ensuring compliance with statutory requirements under the UGC Act.
