The Supreme Court today reserved its verdict on the dispute arising
out of reservation of OBC students in central universities across the
country on the 'cutoff' and 'eligibility' criteria during admission
process.
A bench of Justice RV Raveendran and Justice AK Patnaik reserved the
verdict on the matter after the counsels from all parties involved in
the case finished with their arguments. The bench has in the mean time
allowed all the parties to give their written submission before next
Monday.
Earlier the bench had refused from hearing the matter after senior
counsel PP Rao appearing for the interveners, submitted that the term
'cut-off marks' which needed to be interpreted was used by Justice
Dalveer Bhandari in the 'Ashoka Kumar Thakur Vs Union of Inida' case,
and thus should be heard only by a bench of which Justice Bhandari is
a member.
However, the Chief Justice of India referred the case back to the same bench.
PV Indiresan (petitioner), a former IIT Professor, had approached the
Apex Court seeking stay on the operation of the 7 September 2010 Delhi
High Court order which had declared that the minimum eligibility
criteria for admission of OBC students in JNU should be at maximum 10%
below the minimum eligibility criteria fixed for the General
(Unreserved) category.
Pursuant to the High Court order, admission for OBC students for the
academic year 2011-12 at JNU is being made through the minimum
eligibility criteria route.
The contention of the petitioner is that the admission process for
various courses in JNU has started and the university is admitting OBC
student under the 27% reservation according to the 'minimum
eligibility' method and not according to 'cutoff marks' method used in
Delhi University.
