Kindly refer to our recent Circulars regarding the legal battle against
AICTE in the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi on mandatory subscription of
online journals for all technical institutions approved by the AICTE.****

*It is heartening to inform all AICTE approved technical institutions that
the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi has today stayed the AICTE’s mandate to
subscribe online journals.  The Hon’ble High Court of Delhi has issued an
Interim Order stating that the AICTE Order under Approval Handbook for
2012-13 will remain stayed till January 31, 2012.*****

We congratulate all our member institutions on this big relief by the
Hon’ble High Court of Delhi, which is applicable to all 11000 institutions
located across the country.  You may be aware that EPSI has being fighting
for this issue since November 18, 2011, when a letter was sent to Shri
Kapil Sibal, Hon’ble Minister of HRD.****

** **

It is suggested that now all technical institution are not under any
compulsion for buying online journals for extension of approval, increase
in intake etc.,  Copy of the Interim Order will be sent to you as soon as
we receive it.****

a list of 760 institutions, which are members of the Petitioner (EPSI) body.
Those institutions, which are not enrolled so far as EPSI member, are
advised to *take membership before January 25, 2012 so that an addendum
(list of new members of EPSI) is submitted to the Hon’ble Court before the
next date of hearing, which falls on January 31, 2012. *

member of EPSI.   The Regional Association(s) are requested to support the
cause and send the membership list *along with consent letter *to enable us
