Delhi High Court refuses to interfere in Khalsa admission process

Delhi university’s Khalsa college will continue its admission process for this session under the minority status as the Delhi high court refused to entertain an appeal against its single judge decision allowing the college to commence its admission process for this academic year under minority status.

A vacation bench of Justices V. Kameswar Rao and I.S. Mehta said the appeal by a teacher who claims that if the admissions under the minority status are allowed, her service conditions would be affected, has “no locus”.

“You show us that because of minority status, your service conditions are affected,” the court said, adding that “In any case you will have no problem”.

“Let the person (students/teachers) aggrieved come before us. As of today you do not have locus to file this appeal,” the bench added.

The court was hearing an appeal against its single judge’s interim order passed on June 20 on some teachers plea seeking stay on National Commission for Minority Educational Institution order granting minority status to the Khalsa College.
