On July 11, 2012 heard a petition by Pune's Navsahyadri Education Society challenging the June 21, 2012 decision of All India Council for Technical Education withdrawing recognition on the basis deficiencies noticed by an expert committee.
Since 2010 the Society has been running two engineering colleges offering degree and diploma courses. It contended that since approval was granted for 2012-13 and is not cancelled or withdrawn, the Director of Technical Education is unjustified in not displaying its colleges' names on the government website for admission which have begun.
Engineering College ChennaiAICTE advocate said while approval granted for 2011-12 has been withdrawn, by necessary implication, the extension of approval for 2012-13 would not survive. Also that due to the deficit of two professors and five associate professors and inadequate number of assistant professors with the requisite qualification of ME/M.Tech, no interim relief should be granted to the Society.

The judges said in ordinary course it would not direct AICTE to permit the petition to run the institution which does not have the requisite number of professors/associate professors with full qualifications. But when AICTE at its February 26, 2012 meeting granted approval for the first time, it was aware that the qualified teachers ME/M.Tech were not available for appointment to the posts of lecturer which are now re-designated as assistant professors and had granted three years time to appoint them.
