Sub-section (3) of the said section 109 provides for time limits for making application for grant of Letter of Intent for opening new college or institution of higher learning, grant of Letter of Intent by the Government, forwarding of compliance report by the University after scrutiny to the State Government and grant of final approval to open new college or institution.
Sub-section (4) of the said section 109 provides for the time limit for granting permission by the State Government to start a new course, subject, faculty, division or satellite center.
2. Some institutions in Aurangabad region have filed Writ Petitions in the Bombay High Court, Bench at Aurangabad objecting to some of the locations in the annual plan 2022-23 of the Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University, Aurangabad. The High Court has granted stay to the advertisement dated the 25th April 2022 issued by the Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University, Aurangabad regarding perspective plan for opening new colleges and also stayed issuance of Letter of Intent by the Government in such cases until further hearing.
In view of the said stay order, the Government has not granted Letter of Intent to the institutions for opening new colleges under the said University.
Moreover certain institutions, who claimed that their proposals meet the requirements, have made representations to the Government for considering their proposals. However, the Government could not consider such proposal due to expiry of time limits specified in the said section 109 therefor.
3. It is therefore, considered expedient to amend the said section 109, suitably, so as to extent the time limit for granting Letter of Intent and subsequent approvals for opening new colleges and new courses in the academic year 2022-2023.
4. As both Houses of the State Legislature are not in session and the Governor of Maharashtra is satisfied that circumstances exist which render it necessary for him to take immediate action further to amend the Maharashtra Public Universities Act, 2016, for the purposes aforesaid, this Ordinance is promulgated.
