Maha govt, MU told to provide amenities at varsity's tribunal

Mumbai: The Bombay High Court has directed the Maharashtra government and the University of Mumbai to take steps for providing basic amenities at a tribunal set up to hear admission and other education-related matters of the varsity and the SNDT College.

The University of Mumbai and SNDT College Tribunal has jurisdiction over the two institutions. A division bench of Justices S M Kemkar and G S Kulkarni recently ordered the competent authority of the government and the university to hold a meeting and initiate steps for implementation of the recommendations made in a June 2017 report submitted by the deputy registrar, legal and research, of the high court.

The deputy registrar's report listed recommendations on what basic amenities need to be provided to the tribunal and its presiding officer, who is a retired high court judge.
