HYDERABAD, NOV. 30. Mr. Justice E. Dharma Rao of the A.P. High Court has restrained the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) from processing the applications for setting up an engineering college at Narayanpet, Mahabubnagar district.

The stay orders were passed in a writ petition filed by the Viswa Shanti Educational Society whose application for establishing on engineering college is pending. The petitioner contended that after a notification in July 2000 it had made an application and the authorities with an intention to favour the Vijayanti Educational Society had issued another notification calling for fresh applications for a college at Narayanpet. It contended that calling for afresh applications was not proper.
