Show-cause to MGR institute



In another case before a Bench of Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan and Justices R.V. Raveendran and Deepak Verma, Solicitor-General Gopal Subramaniam said the Dr. MGR Educational and Research Institute running the Thai Moogambigai Dental College and Hospital and the Dr. MGR Engineering College, Chennai, was among the 44 institutions to which notices would be issued asking them to show cause why the deemed university status should not be cancelled.



The ACS Medical College, which admitted students in 2008-2009 and 2009-2010, would not be affiliated to the deemed university as the Human Resource Development Ministry decided not to accept the recommendation of the University Grants Commission.
