SC confirms 23 Crore Penalty Against Admission

The Supreme Court in one of  it's Judgment dated 21 June 2019 held that, the "institution had no business to admit students beyond the number permitted by the AICTE."

"granting admission to the students beyond the seats sanctioned is totally illegal and
contrary to law.", the court held.

In terms of Clause 3.1 of Chapter IV of   Approval  Process
Handbook, 5 times   penalty for each student works out   to
Rs.55,00,000/­ and for 42 student it works out to
Rs 23,10,00,000/­, which is the penalty imposed by the AICTE. The court further observ d that, "The AICTE has no discretion to award a lesser penalty..." and went on to confirm the penalty of 23 Crore 10 Lakhs towards the admission of 42 students in excess.

The court further held that, "Having held thus we are also of the considered view that the
students who had paid large sums of money should not be made
to suffer. They have already completed the course but the degrees have not been awarded to them. We, therefore, direct
 that the degrees be awarded to the said students."

The college has been collecting RS 11 Lacs as fees for the entire course, from each student.
