HC notice to four universities

The Nagpur bench of Bombay high court on Wednesday issued notices to four universities including Nagpur on a plea filed by NET/SET holders. Notices were also served to central and state governments as well as University Grants Commission (UGC).

The petitioners Bhupesh Mude and others under the aegis of Maharashtra Gunwatta Vikas Manch have challenged the decision taken by these four universities - Amravati, Kolhapur, Pune and Nagpur - to exempt PhD Holders from appearing in the NET/SET exam without following UGC norms. They contended that the universities have no right to change the UGC norms or grant any exemption. The court has given two weeks time to the respondents for replying to the notices.

Earlier also, the NET/SET holders had challenged UGC on its notification of June 14, 2006 exempting PhD and MPhil candidates from appearing in NET/SET exam. They claimed that UGC has taken a U-turn on its earlier stand that NET/SET can’t be done away with for PhD or MPhil candidates. The petitioner alleged that giving such exemption by substituting NET/SET is gross violation of Article 14 of Constitution of India. The UGC then appointed a one-member panel of former planning commission member Bhalchandra Mungekar to study eligibility conditions for post graduate level teaching.
