WBNUJS Kolkata : SC Dismisses Plea To Apply 30% Domicile Reservation To 2019-2020 Academic Year [Read Judgment]

Live Law  

The Supreme Court has approved the decision of the West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences, Kolkata to not apply the benefit of 30% domicile reservation to the academic year 2019-2020. It was also submitted that the Act was prospective and could not be made applicable in respect of the admission process which had already commenced from January 2019 "The elaborate exercise of admission was started before the Amending Act came into force and the students had given their option for admission based on choices of National Law Universities available". Since the reservation policy of 30% seats was not available on the date when the admission process was initiated, the decision of the University to provide reservation from the next Academic Year cannot be said to be contradictory to the provisions of the Amending Act". In a related development, a group of law aspirants have filed a writ petition in the Calcutta High Court challenging the application of 30% domicile reservation in the present academic year 2020-21.
