As per case facts, a group of petitioners challenged a state law that allowed the government to create numerous private universities based merely on paper proposals. The petitioners argued that ... these institutions lacked actual buildings, teachers, or equipment, and were misleading students by granting degrees without following national standards. The case reached the Supreme Court as an appeal to protect the quality of higher education and ensure that states do not bypass federal oversight. The question arose whether a state government has the legal power to establish a university through a simple notification before the institution actually exists with proper infrastructure, and if this interferes with the central government's duty to maintain national educational standards. Finally, the Supreme Court ruled that a university cannot be created only on paper; it must be a real place of learning with physical facilities and staff before it is legally recognized. The Court struck down the state law, explaining that while states can create universities, they must follow national rules set by the University Grants Commission to ensure degrees remain valid and education stays at a high level. The Court also decided that state universities cannot operate outside their own state borders and ordered that existing students be moved to recognized institutions to protect their futures.
