The Supreme Court on Thursday asked the University Grants Commission (UGC) to detail the affirmative action taken to rid campuses of caste discrimination.
A Bench led by Justice A.S. Bopanna referred to the tragedy of the petitioners, who are the mothers of Rohith Vemula and Payal Tadvi, saying the authorities should take up the issue in a sensitive manner and ensure that no parent faces such a loss in the future.
Justice M.M. Sundresh suggested that the UGC ought to adopt a consultative approach and consult the petitioners while chalking out its course of action.
