Hyderabad: Justice Noushad Ali of the AP High Court on Tuesday refused to permit private engineering colleges to collect more money than the fee fixed by the Admission and Fee Regulatory Committee (AFRC).
However, the judge directed the Eamcet convener to inform students during admissions about their impending liability to pay the differential amount, if any, depending on the result of the writ petitions.
The judge also granted liberty to private engineering colleges’ managements to obtain an undertaking from each student who intends to join their colleges that their final fees will be subject to the outcome of the petitions pending before the court.
The judge was dealing with writ petitions by managements of engineering colleges challenging the GO 57 issued on July 6 fixing and notifying a fee of Rs 30,000 in majority of colleges per student for the first year.
While granting the interim order by refusing the plea of the colleges to charge higher fee, the judge said that the court should keep the interests of not only the petitioner colleges, but also the interests of the students on whom the ultimate burden lies.
