The Kerala high court issued a stay on AICTE's ( All India Council for Technical Education) decision to not allow admissions to Palakkad Institute of Science and Technology after the chairman of the trust that runs the college was chargesheeted by CBI for bribing a regional director of All India Council for Technical Education.
Considering a petition by Kollengode Educational and Charitable Trust, which runs the college, Justice Antony Dominic directed AICTE to allow admissions to continue at the college.
S Krishnamurthy, standing council for All India Council for Technical Education, submitted to the court that the decision by an appellate authority on the same issue is expected within two days. Following this, the court ruled that admissions can continue but the order wouldn't stand in the way of the appellate authority's decision.
The approval for admissions was withdrawn by All India Council for Technical Education following a policy decision in February this year to withdraw approval for colleges chargesheeted by CBI.
In January last year, CBI had filed chargesheets against three self-financing engineering colleges in Kerala after it was found that they bribed officials of All Indias Council for Technical Education to obtain approval for running colleges even though necessary infrastructure was lacking.
The colleges named by CBI were Palakkad Institute of Science and Technology, IQRA Education and Charitable Trust, and Thejus Engineering College.
