The Delhi High Court has sought response of the Delhi University on a plea alleging arbitrariness in the 바카라seat pattern allocation바카라 adopted for admission to its law course this year.

The petitioner claimed that the candidates belonging to the reserved categories, who secured more marks than the candidates figuring in the merit list of the general category, have not been moved to the general category, which is against the 바카라basic idea of reservation바카라 and hinders more reserved category students from taking admission.

The petitioner, who had appeared in the LLB entrance examination, contended that he was 바카라otherwise eligible바카라 for securing admission under reserved OBC category (OBC) but was unable to do so on account of such seat allocation.

Justice Vikas Mahajan recently issued notice to DU on the plea and granted it time to file its response.

The court said that any admissions made after December 21 in the LL.B course under the reserved categories shall be subject to the outcome of the petition.

바카라The impugned first admission list has excluded reserved category students (OBC, SC & ST), albeit obtaining marks above the general cut-off, from taking admissions under the open/unreserved category admission list. This seems to overturn the logic of reservation, as the seat matrix adopted by the respondent university fundamentally prevents reserved category students from competing in the open quota and consequently hinders additional reserved category students from making it to the list,바카라 the plea said.

바카라As a general principle, the open quota/unreserved admission category is open to all categories of students whereas, the first admission list of LLB 2022 published by the respondent university violates the said principle바카라, it added.

The plea said the 바카라seat matrix바카라 adopted by DU is arbitrary, unlawful and manipulative as well as an 바카라egregious infringement of constitutional rights guaranteed to the reserved category바카라. The matter would be heard next on January 23.
