NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to list for hearing a plea challenging the University Grants Commission (Promotion of Equity in Higher Education Institutions) Regulations, 2026.
When the matter was mentioned for urgent listing, Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant assured the petitioner’s counsel that the case would be heard after defects in the petition are cured.
The counsel submitted that the regulations could result in discrimination against individuals in the general category and expressed concern over the denial of effective grievance redressal mechanisms for them.
