DU's 'Single Girl Child' Quota Violates Equality Right: St Stephen's To Court

The college contended that the varsity was trying to impose quotas against minority institutions.

St. Stephen's College on Wednesday contended before the Delhi High Court that admitting a student under the 'single girl child quota', fixed by the Delhi University (DU), is violative of the right to equality before the law.

The counsel for the college argued that the quota for girl child is ultra vires Article 14, 15(3) and 15(5) and 30 of the Constitution and allocation of seats under this quota goes against these four articles.

The high court asked if the college raised this objection anywhere before.
