Lucknow HC issues warning to IT College Management, Principal for violating BEd admission norms

The court observing that the college violated the directions of the Lucknow University, to which it is affiliated, in BEd admissions. It warned the college management and the principal that they would be held responsible if such irregularities were detected again.
However, considering the fate of 120 BEd students of IT College, the court directed the college to reimburse the fees of all semesters to LU, which, in turn, would allow the students to appear in the next semester examinations.
A bench of Justice Vivek Chaudhary passed the order while disposing of two writ petitions filed by IT College. In its petitions, the college had sought directions for LU to allow the BEd students to take the examinations. The college had alleged that LU had approved the BEd course but was not permitting the students to appear in the semester examinations. Denying the charges, LU had stated that IT College had violated norms in BEd admissions.
The court concluded that there were irregularities in the admission process, but said at this stage it was not proper to deprive the students of the studies.
