Rule on religion in B.Ed. colleges applies, says court

Legal Correspondent

HYDERABAD: A rule framed by the State Government that religion status of a student seeking admission into minority B.Ed. colleges will depend upon the SSC certificate will continue to apply for this academic year.

An order to this effect was made by a Division Bench of the High court, comprising acting Chief Justice Bilal Nazki and Justice G. Yethirajulu, on Wednesday. The Bench heard a batch of writ appeals by managements of minority B.Ed. colleges.

Nod for AICTE

The All-India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) was permitted by a High Court Bench to conduct inspection of new engineering colleges. Existing engineering colleges had filed a writ petition challenging the AICTE action in granting preliminary approval for 17 new colleges, contending that the move would be disastrous.

The Bench said that final letters of approval may not be given until the case is adjudicated and posted the matter to be heard after summer vacation.

Meanwhile, a writ petition filed challenging introduction of Jyothirvaastu diploma course in Potti Sriramulu Telugu University was admitted by the High Court.

A Bench was dealing with the writ plea filed by the Federation of Atheists, Rationalists and Humanists Association (FARA).
