NEW DELHI: The Delhi high court has restrained Punjab Technical University (PTU) from admitting students in its distance education programme courses till IGNOU accords approval on the issue for the current academic year.
The court's order came on a petition filed by one Tilak Singh, a resident of Delhi, alleging that the University was inviting applications despite the fact that it's plea for extension for running the distance education programme courses was pending with IGNOU.
"Vide communication dated October 12, 2012, the Distance Education Council (of IGNOU) has also directed the Punjab Technical University not to admit any student till the application for extension/approval of recognition is pending."
The court has asked the PTU and others to file their responses to the petition and fixed the matter for hearing on March 11.
During the hearing, the counsel for Singh said the PTU was playing with the career of lakhs of students and have duped them to the tune of crores of rupees.
