The Supreme Court has dismissed a plea challenging the relocation of a college building in Chhattisgarh, questioning the motives of the petitioning students from Adar Nandghat.
A bench comprising Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta refused to overturn a Chhattisgarh High Court ruling which upheld the college's shift, stressing that such decisions lie with the state administration and not the judiciary.
The students claimed the relocation to Kura would increase travel hardships. However, authorities contended the issue was within the state's purview, not warranting court intervention.
