A division bench comprising Chief Justice A M Khanwilakar and Justice Kuldeep Singh observed that the decision to close the colleges was right due to lack of infrastructure as each of these eight new colleges were started in three to five room sets.
Such arrangement was carved out only to honour the directions given by the then Chief Minister and arrangements inevitably hampered the quality of education imparted in the colleges, the court in its order said while disposing eight petitions.
The petitioners had alleged that decision to close the colleges was taken by the state government with political vendetta and not in good faith.
