The Bombay High Court today&nbsp;restrained private colleges in Maharashtra from granting&nbsp;admissions to MBA courses on the basis of common entrance test&nbsp;(CET) held in March this year till April 28.
The order was passed by a division bench headed by&nbsp;Justice V M Kanade on a petition filed by a student&nbsp;challenging CET.&nbsp;
Earlier, the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) had&nbsp;assured the court that it would not start the admission&nbsp;process in the colleges affiliated to it. Its lawyer, Ashutosh&nbsp;Kumbhkoni, had said the admissions would not be given till&nbsp;April 28.
However, the petitioner's lawyer claimed that some&nbsp;private colleges had already started the admission process.
The court then passed a temporary restraining order,&nbsp;effective till April 28, the next date of hearing.
The petitioner Bhagat Makhijani, a final-year CA student&nbsp;who appeared for CET in March, has alleged that wrong&nbsp;questions figured in the examination.&nbsp;
The court has clubbed other petitions on the same issue,&nbsp;filed before the Aurangabad and Nagpur benches of the HC, with&nbsp;the present case. All the petitions would be heard together.
Earlier, the Nagpur bench of High Court had stayed the&nbsp;admission process.
DTE had told the court here at the last hearing that it&nbsp;had formed a two-member committee to go into the complaints.
"All the questions that stirred up the controversy were&nbsp;removed and students were evaluated after reduction of marks&nbsp;on equi-percentile basis," Kumbhkoni had said. "We took the&nbsp;advice of an expert statistician and decided on evaluation,"&nbsp;he said, adding that holding a fresh CET would not be&nbsp;possible.
