A bench comprising Justices A.S. Bopanna and P.S. Narasimha adjourned the matter to August 21, when the plea filed by the UGC (University Grants Commission) will also be taken up for hearing.
As per an interim direction passed by the Delhi High Court on July 27, non-minority candidates will be admitted to St. Stephen’s based solely on their CUET score, which will serve as the only eligibility criterion.
The high court had said that this arrangement will be temporary till the plea filed by St. Stephen’s College is decided.
St Stephen’s had contested a Delhi University notification regarding the admission of undergraduate and graduate students under the minority quota purely based CUET score for the academic year 2023.
