No. 14606 of 1998 L ------------------------- Dated, this the 28th day of February, 2007 J U D G M E N T This original petition was filed for continuing the courses sanctioned by the UGC with their assistance. Learned counsel for the UGC submitted that UGC has withdrawn the assistance and petitioner was allowed to continue the courses at their cost. I do not think any further orders are required at this distance of time. The petitioners are allowed to continue the courses without taking any grant from UGC or from University or from Government under interim orders of this Court dated 20/08/2004. I do not think respondents can have any objection in petitioner is continuing the courses at their own cost. In the circumstance, this original petition is closed leaving freedom to the petitioner to continue the present courses, if the Rule permits but without claiming any grant from UGC or Govt. which only is opposed by them.
