SC stays UGC fiat on campus equity
The Morning Standard
|January 30, 2026
THE Supreme Court on Thursday stayed till March 19 the University Grants Commission (Promotion of Equity in Higher Education Institutions) Regulations, notified on January 23 after hearing a batch of pleas challenging the Commission's controversial order.
The new Promotion of Equity in Higher Education Regulations, 2026 had revised measures to tackle caste-based discrimination in campuses by restricting grievance mechanisms only for SC, ST and OBC categories.
"The 2026 UGC regulations on what amounts to caste-based discrimination shall be kept in abeyance. The 2012 Regulations will continue. The provisions are prima facie vague and capable of misuse," the court said.
