Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University was required to seek state government approval for granting affiliation to new courses already approved by the All India Council for Technical Education. The court found that the High Court's interim orders were contrary to its previous decision in Jaya Gokul Education Trust v. Commissioner & Secretary to Govt Higher Education Department. Consequently, the Supreme Court upheld the High Court's ruling, affirming that such approval was not necessary.
