The Delhi High Court Wednesday questioned the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the Sikkim Manipal University on allegations that the private varsity was illegally running 52 study centres in Delhi.
The division bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justice Sanjiv Khanna also issued orders to issue notices to the respondents UGC, the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and the Sikkim Manipal university. The notices are returnable by March 15.
The bench was hearing a petition filed by Bhupendra Chaturvedi against the private university, alleging that it was not authorised by the UGC to open campuses outside the territorial jurisdiction of Sikkim.
"The university has 52 unauthorised study centres in the national capital alone," said senior advocate Arvind Nigam appearing for Chaturvedi.
The UGC, through its notifications issued in April and June 2009, had disapproved of the Sikkim Manipal University's move to open centres outside its campus, he said.

Distance Education is by far the biggest scam in the Education Sector in this country.Over a millions gullible students are handed over professional certificates every year. Many Universities have centres outside their campuses,mostly operating from 2 bedroom apartments or 1000 squarefoot commercial spaces to conduct distance programmes in the areas of technology and management diluting the quality of Indian certification and degrees. Governments have turned away their eye from this scam suit its target of achieveing higher GER and politicians interest in these private Universities.
