What happened
A bench of the Supreme Court, including Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah, expanded an inquiry into Amity University that originated from a student grievance. The Court subsequently directed all private universities nationwide to disclose their five years' audited financial records, fund utilization, fee structures, surplus investments, and payments to non-educational personnel. The order required Union Governments, States, and UTs to file affidavits through their Chief Secretaries after obtaining the necessary details from the institutions.

Why it matters
The Court stated that private universities cannot operate as profit-making institutions. While they may maintain a financial cushion for responsible management, resources cannot be diverted for purposes unrelated to education. This ruling establishes a new national standard for the financial management of private educational bodies.
A Supreme Court bench led by Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah is seeking to urgently expand a court-monitored inspection exercise in Delhi.
