University Grants Commission vs Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Vedic ...

The Supreme Court, while granting leave and condoning delay, ordered that the status quo be maintained regarding the classification of the respondent University as a private university until the pending writ petition is resolved by the High Court. The Court refrained from commenting on the merits of the case, emphasizing that the compliance with the interim order would require the University Grants Commission to change the respondent's status to a State University. The appeals were disposed of without costs, and pending applications were also addressed accordingly.
