UNIVERSITY GRANTS COMMISSION vs MAHARISHI MAHESH YOGI VEDIC VISHWAVIDYALAYA

The Supreme Court, while addressing Civil Appeal Nos. 1395-1396 of 2017, upheld the status quo regarding the classification of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Vedic Vishwavidyalaya as a private university until the pending writ petition is resolved by the High Court. The Court emphasized that it would not comment on the merits of the case at this stage, thereby ensuring that the current status remains unchanged. The appeals were disposed of without any orders as to costs, maintaining the existing legal position until further adjudication.
