HYDERABAD: The state government is likely to move the Supreme Court seeking a stay order on the recent judgement of the Andhra Pradesh High Court which had scrapped the management quota of seats in professional colleges and set aside the uniform fee structure in force now.However, a final decision will be taken in this regard after discussing the matter with chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy.Deputy chief minister and minister for higher education C Damodara Raja Narasimha who held a meeting with the officials of Education Department and Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) at the Lake View Guest House on Tuesday, discussed the implications of the High Court verdict on the fee structure.He informed that the outcome of the deliberations would be placed before the chief minister to enable him to take a final decision on the matter.The state government is likely to act on the issue within a week.It may be recalled that the High Court held that fixing different tuition fee for convener and management quota seats is unconstitutional.While the management quota has been done away with, the professional college managements have been given the freedom to sell 15 per cent of their seats to NRI students at a premium.The premium thus extracted is to be invested in the development of the college.
