REGARDING THE FEE TO BE CHARGED FROM THE STUDENTS WHO ARE GRANTED ADMISSION OR ARE TO BE GRANTED ADMISSION, THE HIGH COURT DIRECTED THAT THE MANAGEMENTS SHALL CHARGE FEE AS ALLOWED BY THE COMMITTEE, WHICH WOULD BE INTERIM, AND ABIDE BY THE FINAL DECISION OF THE COMMITTEE TO BE GIVEN UPON HEARING THE OBJECTIONS OF THE COLLEGES CONCERNED.

3. VARIOUS MANAGEMENTS HAVE ALSO FILED PETITIONS UNDER ARTICLE 32 OF THE CONSTITUTION WHICH ARE ALSO LISTED BEFORE US.
