As the amount paid by the company into the said trust was not being allowed as a deduction in the assessment of the company under the Income Tax Act, the trust was dispensed with. The admission to the institute was open only to the children of those employees of Larson and Toubro group who had been confirmed in service for atleast five years. Admissions were made purely on merit and no fees was charged. The Government rules regarding reservations were followed. Certain conditions laid down by the Government while granting permission for starting the Institute were followed by the Institute.After the judgment of this court in Unnikrishnan, J.P. v. State of Andhra Pradesh, (1993) 1 SCC 645. Regulations were framed by the All India Council for Technical Education (A.I.C.T.E.) which were consistent with and in furtherance of the scheme and directions contained in Unnikrishnan. The idea behind the scheme framed in Unnikrishnan was to put an end to financial and other irregularities in admission to professional colleges including colleges imparting technical education and to regulate admissions to such colleges. The petitioner-institute could not fit itself in the scheme framed by All India council for Technical Education and therefore, applied for exemption to the Government which was not granted. Hence, this writ petition. |
