HC: How can Shah Rukh Khan promote IIPM as a product?

BANGALORE: The Karnataka high court has issued notice to Bangalore University and the Visvesvaraya Technological University, Belgaum, with regards to a petition filed by a batch of students from Indian Institute of Planning and Management (IIPM). The students were seeking refund of fees paid by them for pursuing an MBA course at the institute.

The petitioners have also sought a direction to the authorities to take appropriate steps to close or derecognize IIPM and prosecute them under relevant provisions of law.

Interestingly, Justice S Abdul Nazir, while hearing the petition, verified the institute's prospectus and asked the counsel what connection Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan has with the institute as photos of him were found in the prospectus.


"What has Shah Rukh Khan got to do with your institution? Does he have any contract as your brand ambassador? Or he is an old student? What is the connection? Can celebrities like him promote an educational institution as they promote a product?" the judge asked the counsel representing IIPM.
