Accreditation status

It does not seem clear whether this is a genuine accredited university. The citation in the article links to http://mhrd.gov.in/sites/upload_files/mhrd/files/upload_document/ugc_act.pdf which seems to be an article of law from the Indian government, but does not specifically list "Kalasalingam" anywhere in the document. On the other hand, https://recognizeduniversities.wordpress.com/2012/05/03/derecognized-44-deemed-universities-in-india/ and http://www.engineerscorner.in/list-black-listed-colleges-india-2014/ list Kalasalingam as a de-recognized or black-listed university. However, those pages in turn do not appear to have any credible sources, and https://www.ugc.ac.in/page/Fake-Universities.aspx returns 403. So what is the actual status?
