Hyderabad, March 18 -- A two-judge bench of the Telangana High Court, led by Acting Chief Justice Sujoy Paul and Justice Renuka Yara, has issued notices to the Union government's higher education department and the University Grants Commission (UGC) regarding a writ petition filed by the Telangana government.

The petition challenges the UGC's 2023 regulations that allegedly infringe upon the state's authority in higher education matters, particularly concerning the establishment of deemed universities without state approval.

The Telangana government argues that these regulations undermine its jurisdiction by allowing deemed universities to be established and off-campus centres to operate without necessary state consent.
