SC stays OBC quota in DU, Symbiosis

The Supreme Court today stayed the 27 per cent OBC reservation in Delhi University and Symbiosis International University for the current academic session.The decision came on a petition filed by Youth for Equlaity, a recently formed trust, which sought to restrain Symbiosis International University and Delhi University, from going ahead with their respective decisions on OBCs from this academic year (2007-08).Youth for Equality, which earlier also had questioned the validity of the Act, alleged that both universities deliberately decided to go ahead with the 27 per cent quota for OBCs despite being aware that the Centre has deferred the implementation of the controversial provision of the Act.
