The Supreme Court of India has asked the Delhi High Court to consider with "requisite urgency" a plea filed by the St. Stephen's College, in New Delhi, against a High Court order which had asked it to follow the admission policy of Delhi University.
The Delhi High Court had on September 12 last year asked the Christian minority institution to follow the admission policy formulated by the Delhi University according to which 100% weightage has to be given to the Common University Entrance Test (CUET)-2022 score while granting admission to non-minority students in its undergraduate courses.
The High Court had said the college cannot conduct interviews for non-minority category students and that the admission should be as per the CUET score alone. A Bench of Justices B. R. Gavai and J. B. Pardiwala clarified that the High Court can hear the matter.
