SC puts Odisha Universities Amendment Act on hold

The Supreme Court on Friday put Odisha Universities (Amendment) Act on hold for three months while seeking reply from the Odisha government. The next hearing on the matter will be after two months.

Orissa High Court had earlier given a clean chit by upholding the validity of the Act. However, the University Grants Commission (UGC) and a professor had moved the apex court challenging the decision of the HC.
