The Kerala High Court on Friday issued notice to the Centre and the State governments on a writ petition against the use of prefixes such as ‘India’ and ‘Indian’ to names of certain private educational institutions in the State.
According to Manoj Kumar B. of Alappuzha, the use of prefixes violated the provisions of the Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act.
By prefixing India or India, these institutions were trying to mislead and deceive students by conveying the impression that the government promoted such private institutions, the petition read.
