In Brief
The University Grants Commission appealed against a High Court interim order directing it to change the status of a private university (Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Vedic Vishwavidyalaya) to a State University. Since the main writ petition was pending before the High Court, the Supreme Court declined to interfere with the interim order. Instead, it ordered that status quo be maintained by both parties until the High Court disposes of the writ petition, without expressing any view on the merits of the case.
