'Could have dangerous impacts': SC stays UGC Equity Regulations on caste discrimination

#supremecourt #ugcequityregulations #castediscrimination #indianeducation A bench headed by the Chief Justice of India has stayed the new regulations of the UGC Equity Rules against discrimination among students. The CJI announced that the 2012 UGC regulations will continue to remain in force until further orders The new regulations require all higher education institutions to form 'equity committees' to look into discrimination complaints. It also required that these committees must include members of the Other Backward Classes, the Scheduled Castes, the Scheduled Tribes, persons with disabilities, and women The petitions challenged the regulation on the grounds that caste-based discrimination is strictly defined as discrimination against members of the SCs, STs and OBCs. They further contended that the new rules exclude “general category” students from raising complaints under the grievance redressal mechanism. The bench has claimed that if the court does not intervene, the regulations could lead to dangerous impacts. Critics have argued that the new regulations lack clear procedural safeguards and could be misapplied without due process Visuals: ANI, X Video Editor: Dinesh G. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are active on social media!
