High Court in Delhi queries the validity of law enabling colleges beyond Delhi's borders to be affiliated with Indraprastha University
The Shashank Deo Sudhi v Union of India & Ors. case, currently being heard in the Delhi High Court, is questioning the authority of the Delhi assembly to pass a law that allows Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) to provide affiliation to colleges located outside Delhi.
The case, presided over by Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela, is named after the plaintiffs, Madhur A. Deo and Rohan R. Deo, who are challenging the law's legality. The defense is represented by counsel associated with the Union of India.
The law in question expands the university's jurisdiction beyond Delhi, a move that the Delhi High Court is scrutinising for its legislative competence. The court is examining whether the Delhi assembly has the power to pass such a law, given that education is primarily a state subject as per the Constitution of India.
The case, which is being closely watched, is being heard at the Delhi High Court located in Delhi NCR. The Delhi High Court has previously questioned the authority of the Delhi assembly on similar grounds, indicating a potential challenge to the law's validity.
The question at the heart of the case is whether the Delhi assembly has the power to legislate on matters concerning education institutions outside its territorial jurisdiction. The outcome of this case could have far-reaching implications for the future of education legislation in Delhi.
As the hearing progresses, both parties will present their arguments, and the court will weigh the constitutional aspects of the law in question. The final decision will likely set a precedent for future cases concerning the legislative competence of the Delhi assembly.
Stay tuned for updates on this significant case as it continues to unfold in the Delhi High Court.
