Order reserved on plea against permanent panel

By Our Staff Reporter

CHENNAI, JUNE 29. The Madras High Court today reserved orders on writ petitions challenging the order of the Permanent Committee for the Conduct of Common Entrance Test that admissions to the management quota in unaided engineering colleges be made only under the single-window system (SWS).

Justice D. Murugesan reserved orders after senior counsel, including Rajiv Dhavan and R. Krishnamoorthy, besides the Advocate-General, N.R. Chandran, and Vijay Narayan, counsel for the All-India Council for Technical Education, made their submissions.

On June 2, the committee, headed by Justice S.S. Subramani, authorised the Consortium of Self-Financing Professional, Arts and Science Colleges in Tamil Nadu to hold a common entrance test but laid down 25 stipulations, which included admissions only under the SWS, adherence to the reservation policy, and holding of the test on the pattern of the Tamil Nadu Professional Courses Entrance Examinations.

The petitioners contended that the committee overstepped its jurisdiction, traversing beyond the scope of a Supreme Court order, on the basis of which the panel came into being.
