Guwahati (Assam), September 21, 2018:

A Division bench of Gauhati High Court comprising of ]Chief Justice (Acting)  Justice Arup Kumar Goswami and Justice Ajit Borthakur issued a notice to Anand Kumar who is known for “super 30” to reply the allegations made in the Public Interest Litigation filed by four IITs students of IIT Guwahati.

Ashok Saraf, Senior Advocate appearing for the four IIT students submitted before the Court that because of the wrong projection given by Kumar each year a large number of students from northeast and other parts of the Country  are approaching  him  with full faith  and hope that  Kumar,  who seems to be  an IIT Baba will help them in qualifying the IIT entrance exam. But after reaching there, Anand Kumar took their admission in his Coaching Institute namely Ramanujam School of Mathematics by charging  huge amount about Rs. 33,000/- per students in the name of teaching them.

According to Amit Goyal, Advocate for the petitioners , in the petition it is mentioned that most of the time, Kumar roams to different places in India and outside India. He doesn’t devote sufficient time to the IIT aspirants who took admission in Ramanujam School of Mathematics.

Goyal added that on being enquired by the students it is revealed that  after 2008, Kumar is not running any so called “SUPER 30” classes. Whenever, IIT results announced, Kumar appears before Media with some of the students of Ramanujam School of Mathematics and other students and claims that they are super 30 students and qualified in the IIT entrance exam.

Ashok Saraf submitted before the Court that the false propaganda created by Kumar is not only cheating the IIT aspirants and their Guardians but also the common  people of this Country including the people of North East.

Accordingly, Goyal, these have been uploaded by WIKIPEDIA in its website in an unedited version and the same is also published by the National News paper Deccan Chronicle and is easily available in Social Media.

It is also alleged in the Petition that in this the year also i.e. 2018 , Anand Kumar  claimed that from his “super 30” out of 30 students 26 students cleared the IIT entrance exam but till he has not disclosed the names of 26 IIT entrance qualified students.

After the hearing, Gauhati High Court issued a notice to Anand Kumar. Court also issued notice to Abhiyanand ,IPS (Former DGP , Bihar) who started “Super 30” with Anand Kumar in 2002. Matter shall now be taken up after 8(eight) weeks for further orders.
