Hyderabad: A two-judge Bench of the High Court at Hyderabad comprising Acting Chief Justice Dilip B Bhosale and Justice Naveen Rao on Thursday dismissed a batch of writ appeals filed by CMR group of colleges and others which would make the government exchequer safer by over Rs 100 crore.
The managements of the said private engineering colleges had challenged the action of the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University-Hyderabad (JNTU-H) in seeking to collect from the said autonomous colleges the fee collected by them towards common services.
So far, as far as non-autonomous colleges are concerned, the levy was required to be collected by the colleges for services rendered by the university such as conduct of examination, preparing curriculum etc. Such fee collected by the private managements is required to be remitted to the university.
The autonomous colleges pleaded unsuccessfully that the said services were not being extended to autonomous colleges and therefore, the said colleges were not required to remit the said fee. The government contended that the fee collected at the behest of the university could not be retained by the colleges.
