Private Institutes Question HC Order

Private Institutes Question HC Order 23 Jan 2009, 0412 hrs IST, TNN Text: CHENNAI: Private self-financing institutions offering teacher training courses have questioned a single judge order of the Madras high court, upholding a set of regulatory norms laid down by the state government in May 2008. Admitting a writ appeal preferred by the Self-Financing Private Teacher Training Institutes Association, represented by senior counsel R Muthukumaraswamy and R Suresh Kumar, the first bench comprising the acting chief justice S J Mukhopadhaya and justice V Dhanapalan has issued notice to the school education secretary and others. The impugned May 3, 2008 order pertained to grant affiliation for diploma-level teacher training institutes, besides staff strength and student intake. When the institutes filed a writ petition against the GO, a single judge dismissed the petition in October 2008, stating that the petition was misconceived and devoid of merits. He had upheld all provisions of the order, except the one pertaining to admission through the single window system. The association has filed the present appeal assailing the single judge order on the grounds that the order was not in consonance with the settled legal position.
