SC adjourns petition on Engg fee to Aug 1

A division bench of Supreme Court on Thursday adjourned the hearing on a petition pertaining to uniform fee structure for engineering colleges in Andhra Pradesh to August 1.

After hearing of petition, the two member bench consisting of Justice R M Lodha and Justice A R Dave posted the case for further hearing to August 1 following an appeal by the State Government seeking some more time to file affidavit in this connection. The State Government filed a petition in the apex court seeking uniform form for both convenor and management quota seats in the professional colleges.

With the apex court adjourning the hearing on fixing uniform fee, the counseling for admissions into professional colleges might get delayed further. (INN)
