The top court was hearing an appeal against a Delhi High Court order passed last month. The college had initially challenged the decision of the Executive Council of Delhi University (DU) and a notification dated December 30, 2022, which insisted on 100% weightage on Common University Entrance Test (CUET) scores for minority quota admissions.
The High Court was told that DU’s notification violated a September 2022 High Court order. In that order, the High Court had said that the college cannot give weightage to interviews for admission through non-reserved categories.
In its July order, the High Court underscored that the UGC communication challenged by the college was prima facie in conflict with the right of St Stephen’s College under Article 30(1) of the Constitution of India and the High Court’s September order.
