    Amity on UGC website
    The Delhi High Court has directed the University Grants Commission (UGC) for listing Amity University, Uttar Pradesh in the list of universities on its website. Amity had submitted in the High Court that even though it was recognised as per section 2(f) of the UGC Act with the power to award degrees under section 22 of the UGC Act, the non-inclusion of its name in the UGC List (which is a non-statutory list, i.e. not required under law) was creating problems. Allowing the petition filed by Amity University, Justice Badar Durrez Ahmed observed, It was open to the UGC not to maintain a list of Universities falling under section 2(f) of the UGC Act but having exercised the option of maintaining such a list, it is not open to UGC to pick and choose and arbitrarily and unreasonably deny inclusion of the petitioners name in the said list even though it falls within the definition of the word university given in section 2(f) of the UGC Act.
