The Gauhati High Court has issued notice to Anand Kumar of Super 30, asking him to reply to the allegations raised in a public interest litigation petition by four students of the Indian Institute of Technology-Guwahati.
A Division Bench of Acting Chief Justice Arup Kumar Goswami and Justice Ajit Borthakur also issued notice to former Bihar Director-General of Police Abhayanand, who started Super 30 with Mr. Kumar in 2002. The court would take up the matter after eight weeks.
Earlier this week, the IIT-G students informed the court that a large number of students from the northeastern India and other parts of the country approached Mr. Kumar every year, hoping to qualify for the IITs, going by the “wrong projections.” But he invariably made them join the Ramanujam School of Mathematics, his coaching institute, by charging ₹33,000 each. Mr. Kumar had not conducted any Super 30 classes post-2008, and his “false propaganda” amounted to “cheating the IIT aspirants,” they said.
