New Delhi: The Delhi
High Court Tuesday issued notice to the Delhi University on a plea
challenging the allegedly discriminatory policy adopted for
admitting students from the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes
(SC/ST).
Justice G.S. Sistani issued notice to the university and asked it
to file a reply by Oct 11.
The petition filed by a group of five students and two
organisations - Innovative Institute for Development And Education
of All and Balmiki Mohalla Sudhar Samiti -alleged that the
admission procedure adopted by the university was "highly
discriminatory".
They alleged that the information bulletin for dalit candidates
was improper and of poor quality as compared to the kit for the
general category students.
"While a 70-page information bulletin, printed in colour with a
personal message from the vice-chancellor and with information
like the last year's cutoff marks, information about grievance and
placement cell and a city map indicating the colleges' location,
was given to the general candidates, the SC/ST candidates were
given a shoddily printed eight-page bulletin without the necessary
information," alleged a petitioner.
"The general category candidates could register using the online
facility from anywhere in India, SC/ST candidates had to come
physically to Delhi with all their original certificates to even
obtain the registration form," the petition said.
The petitioners alleged that while a general category candidate
could register for all or any of the courses and colleges, an
SC/ST candidate had a limit of 30 choices.
Making an informed choice at the time of registration was
impossible for dalit candidates who were not even provided with
the required information, it added.

Believed to be built by Bibi Akbarabadi, one of the wives of then Mughal Emperor
Shah Jahan, the mosque is considered the twin of Fatehpuri Masjid
in Chandni Chowk. It is associated with the freedom movement of
1857 during which it was destroyed by the British.
Construction work was in progress after the discovery and
thousands of Muslim had offered Friday prayers on July 20,
2012. The Delhi High Court however handed over it to
archaeologists very next day. |
