Dalits seek domicile quota in law school
Bangalore, December 19, DHNS:

A few Dalit organisations held a demonstration in front of the
National Law School of India University (NLSIU) in support of their
demand to include domicile quota in the admission policy, on Sunday.

This was followed by submission of a memorandum to the vice chancellor
related to admission of candidates of the state.

According to Venkat Swamy, president of Samatha Sainik Dal (SSD), the
premier law school has been giving preference to students from other
states. He alleged that the institute has been flouting norms related
to admission of SC/ST candidates.

In addition to SSD, members from Ahinda and Dalit Sangarsh Samiti also
participated in the demonstration.

The National Law School of India University at Bangalore has been
established under the National Law School of India University Act
(Karnataka Act 22 of 1986). The Act states that Bar Council of India
has created a charitable trust called Bar Council of India Trust,
which was later registered as a society termed National Law School of
India Society.

The Society framed necessary rules to manage the National Law School
of India with powers to confer degrees and diploma. Later, the council
requested the state government to assist it, by establishing the
school as a university.

VC clarifies

Meanwhile, Vice-Chancellor R Venkata Rao told Deccan Herald that the
institution has not flouted any rules related to the admission of
candidates. "The selection of candidates for undergraduate programme
is based on Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) score and reservation
norms set by the committee. We have admitted students eligible for
SC/ST and disability quota," said Rao. He also noted that the decision
related to the domicile quota would be discussed at the upcoming
executive meeting.
